"It's a big deal. ”

"Hey, that's where it is," Zhang Jie didn't care, although the alteration and construction of the musical theater hall was the largest renovation since the establishment of the Oriental Art Center. Of course, it is not just for "Mo", but after being determined to do more in the musical, it is inevitable to do some modern renovations to the stage and theater, such as the placement of slides, lamps, lifting platforms, and audio equipment. ”

Ji Ming looked at the newly renovated musical theater hall, and there was no doubt that Zhang Jie had referred to a lot of experience in the West End theater. Each of them went to London for a different purpose, Ji Ming went, operation, production and performance all need to be learned, while Tong Xinyu is more of a director, and composition and choreography are also his main business.

For Zhang Jie, the construction and operation of the theater is her focus, especially with the help of Morris and Rudy, the two sides even reached an in-depth cooperation agreement, especially Rudy's West Theater, as a theater that can produce several musicals every year, he has too many repertoire and resources to use, Zhang Jie can cooperate with him, for the domestic musical market, it is still a considerable help, to some extent, she dares to make such a big move, it is also based on this consideration, when persuading shareholders, in addition to Ji Ming, this cooperation agreement is also an important bargaining chip。

"Although it can't exist for the sake of "The Phantom of the Opera" like the Queen's Theater, it is more adaptable here, "Mo" can be, and you and the light can do "The Return of the Great Sage". ”

Ji Ming nodded: "It's good, Tong Xinyu?"

"After watching it a few times, he can't wait to go according to the needs of "Mo"," Zhang Jie shook her head.

"Haha. Ji Mingle said: "Okay, that's it, I'm still a little excited, I'm finally going to bring the set." ”

Zhang Jie glanced at Ji Ming, and saw that he seemed to be thinking something with his eyes closed, his handsome face facing the light on the stage, a texture between oil painting and sculpture, and like a certain scene in Wang Jiawei's movie, which is really depraved.

Tut.

No, this is an infatuated species.

"Ha," Zhang Jie shook her head: "The 29th performance, the tickets are about to be released, there is a feeling that the dust has settled, and I really want to know the feedback." ”

Ji Ming didn't open his eyes, just smiled and took a deep breath.

The whole crew of people from the capital has dozens of people, plus the staff here in Shanghai, it is also a team of hundreds of people, compared with other large-scale stage plays in China, there are already relatively few people, relatively speaking. At the beginning, Tian Mingxin lined up "Flyover", and there were far more people than these, hundreds of people.

Speaking of which, he and Tian Mingxin are still chatting, and Director Tian also has the idea of continuing to do musicals, and it just so happens that Tiancheng Culture's main business now depends on musicals, and the opportunities for cooperation between the two sides have increased greatly. Of course, Ji Ming will not refuse, with Director Tian's level, in the industry, it is impossible to ask for it, and it seems that "Tianqiao" has a mixed reputation, but it can achieve mixed reputation, not a musical director who sinks to the bottom, in fact, there are not many.

For example, Tong Xinyu, the musicals he filmed before were only circulated in niche groups, and they had no chance to be judged by the public.

"Trust the audience. ”

Zhang Jie was stunned, and glanced at the assistant next to him, the assistant's eyes blinked, and the signal passed was - too crazy.

What does it mean to believe in the audience, it means that our things are good, we must believe that the audience knows how to appreciate, subtext, good feedback is a matter of course, and bad feedback is that this audience is still a little worse - if this word is spread, with Ji Ming's always humble and cautious personality, it is estimated that it will attract countless black drafts.

But at this moment, at this time, it gave Zhang Jie and his assistant an indescribable trust.

This is what Ji Ming said.

So what is there to worry about?

The two of them are also under great pressure, betting heavily on domestic musicals, a strategy that not all shareholders agree on, if it were not for the opportunity to cooperate with Ji Ming, Zhang Jie would almost impossible to promote the transfer of the company's resources - but if it is really done, it means that the pressure belongs to them.

In such a context, Zhang Jie also dared not to interfere in the creation of "Mo" almost completely, but handed it over to Ji Ming and Tong Xinyu, which is a rare courage.

......

The news of Ji Ming's move to Shanghai, which is closely following his public opinion field, has of course spread it a long time ago.

As soon as I do the media, I have more or less put the news out.

Ji Ming returned to China and led the team to move to Shanghai, and the musical "Mo" was less than half a month away from the performance. ”

"In a new field, can Ji Ming repeat the box office miracle of "The Last Emperor" in Shanghai. ”

Ji Ming appeared at the Oriental Art Center, and "Silence" was rehearsed until the last moment. ”

However, compared to the general attention of traditional media and integrated media. This domestic musical is within the scope of musical theater lovers, and from the first time it came out with the news, it has gained an influence commensurate with the cast, that is, an influence commensurate with Ji Ming.

"Is this the first time that a domestic musical has been performed and produced by top celebrities in the true sense?"

"Drama, film, musical...... You can look forward to it, right?"

"In fact, no matter what he makes, with his influence, he makes a musical so wholeheartedly, I feel that the significance to the domestic musical industry is so great, no matter how you say it, it is not an exaggeration. ”

As they said, there may be more than half of the consultation links about musicals, and more than half of the new ones added after that were created by Ji Ming.

Until he won the Venice Best Actor - the musical "Silence" became a musical adapted from the award-winning film of the Venice Film Festival, and the attention suddenly reached a higher level.

However, in fact, up to this point, the more serious musical circle of "Chongyang" is still looking down on "Mo" - ah, in a group of backward elements, now it looks like there is a person who has jumped relatively high, and he is a top celebrity and a Venice actor, and the atmosphere is different from the past.

So it is also because of this mentality that after Ji Ming announced that he would produce and star in the English version of "Silence" in London's West End at the same time, the domestic musical theater circle was really explosive. It's just that in Ji Ming's overwhelming public opinion boom at that time, the musical theater circle was too niche, and there was no corresponding big movement.

Until this moment, Ji Ming came to Shanghai after going back and forth to the Western District many times, which means that the performance of "Silence" is just around the corner.

The movement of the musical theater circle is out of the circle in the relatively dull conditions of the outside world.

Weibo big V "Western District Musical" with the title of "Will this year become the first year of domestic musicals in the real sense?", which has become the starting point of this round of out of the circle.

Ji Ming returned from the West District and brought the whole group to the musical theater hall of the Oriental Art Center of the Public Performance Theater, and the news was widely seen in the major newspapers, as always, whether domestic or imported, musicals have never received this level of attention in China - even the movement of the crew is enough to make headlines.

Will domestic musicals start with Ji Ming and really enter the mainstream art circle? Film and television dramas...... And this year, will it become the first year of domestic musicals in the true sense? This question does not intend to erase the efforts and hardships of many musical theater workers in the past ten years, but I want to sincerely explore whether the opportunity for musicals to get out of the circle has really arrived, and "Silence", a domestic musical adapted from a recognized film with a large number of dance drama elements, can bear the mission and pressure of starting all this?

This blogger lives in London, and he is engaged in theater-related work, so he writes very expertly.

First of all, there was an in-depth discussion on the advantages and disadvantages of adapting such a theme as "Silence" into a musical, and what they were - the conclusion was that the challenge was huge, and it was not easy to do a good job in some West End and Broadway productions, and there were extremely high requirements for actors, stage, and production - "...... With Ji Ming's achievements in the field of drama and film, and the title of drama grand slam and actor, it is not surprising that he would choose such a difficult start, and I believe that he must be prepared. So assuming that they can indeed have a high degree of completion, "Silence" is likely to be a revolutionary domestic musical work, which is worthy of great responsibility. ”

Then he took out his own exclusive information, got some information about the English version of "Mur", the identity of the Morris Theater as one of the core theaters in the West End, and the background of director Stewart - the most important thing is that he revealed the news of Keira Knightley's participation for the first time, this news has not been released yet, one Kayla is not so popular in Europe now, and the other drama has not yet entered the publicity cycle, so no one has known about it, or no one has put it on the news - For example, "it is rumored that Keira Knightley will participate in a West End musical in the near future", Chinese reporter who can contact Ji Mingtou.

The original article does not end here, and continues to write: "The English version of "Mo" is a typical production mode and specification of a traditional musical drama in the West End, which is very worth looking forward to, and there has never been such a cooperation in the past, and there has never been a Chinese musical actor who has been so deeply involved in the production of this specification. ”

Then he talked about the recent overhaul of the Oriental Art Center, as well as the recent musical theatre majors in major art schools, which have seen more invitations from musical theatre actors, which means that more companies are working on musicals.

In the penultimate paragraph, he focused on the analysis of Ji Ming's own ability, from his drama record, the vocal music was taught by Mr. Zou, who is the younger brother of Wu Bixia, Gong Linna and others, and the dance was taught by Chairman Shan Yu himself, and he was praised by Jin Xuan - "I almost think that from the first day he entered the entertainment industry, he has been working hard to train himself to become the top musical actor, he has the qualities that all musical actors should have, and they have reached a very high level." ”

Finally, the blogger is quite emotional:

"I've seen a certain kind of intoxicating impetuousness, no matter how noisy and stormy it will bring to a quiet and niche musical, but if Ji Ming can hold up the sky above the musical high enough and wide enough, as he has done in science fiction films, animated films, and dramas, then it will all be worth it — a few years later, when we look back at this year, it may be indisputably named the first year of Chinese musicals.

Luckily, even ah. ”

This article mobilized almost all the musical influencers on Weibo, including some musical actors, directors, and production companies.

"Many friends in our class have changed careers before, some have gone to acting, and some have gone behind the scenes, but in September, after Ji Ming won the actor, many students began to be confirmed whether they were musical theater majors, and through classmates and teachers, there were many more - inexplicably, wow, the New Year is coming, not to mention Beijing and Shanghai, even Tianjin, Beijing, Tianfu, Jinling, these places, have begun to have companies organizing classes. So really, Xinnu has been a vegetarian for three years, and she begged Ji Ming to be a big success!!"

- "Don't eat vegetarian, gain fifty pounds." ”

——“...... It's ruthless. ”

"It came so suddenly!"

"I've seen some people say they're going to be ruined, they're going to be taken over by fandoms. My mom, where did you all come from, pig girls who don't eat fireworks in the world? Do you really think that the first year of musicals mentioned by the blogger can be compared with movie and television reality shows? Fandom culture! Do you know how many musical theater actors who graduate every year can't eat? Not to mention others, Ji Ming's senior brother, Zhang Cheng, people are studying musicals, and they don't have to live by acting in TV dramas? After eating, they can go back and play what they want to play again. If musicals can really be like TV dramas, hundreds or thousands of shows a year, my mother, even if 90% of it is garbage, I can die of happiness. ”

"Keira Knightley, the heroine of Pirates of the Caribbean? This one is also an amateur, but the attention is probably really high. ”

- ""Mo" is obviously Ji Ming's one-man show, and it is most suitable to find a heroine like Kayla, and it is very good. ”

However, regardless of whether Kayla is an amateur or not, the title of the star of "Pirates of the Caribbean" helped the article get out of the circle - it appeared within the promotional framework of the movie "Silence", and the promoters are keenly aware of the newsiness of this point. As they expected, after the topic was put on the hot search, they quickly climbed to the first place and suppressed the scandal of eating dumplings.

Ji Ming teamed up with the heroine of "Pirates of the Caribbean" to star in an English musical - adapted from the award-winning Venice film "Silence" starring him. ”

"The English version of the cast is bigger, Ji Ming's musical "Mo" cooperates with Hollywood actress Keira Knightley!"

"Officially conquer Europe? Ji Ming joins hands with British Rose to start from musicals!"

- "Ah, this is the path to repeat in China, the reality is to make a reputation for being a powerful faction from stage plays, and then expand its influence in movies and turn into the mainstream, of course, relying on his face is the same as always, I don't know if foreigners eat his appearance." ”

- "Big brother, Ji Ming has long been very popular in Italy and France, and he is also famous in other European countries, all of which are fans from his Cannes red carpet." ”

- "Yo-yo, wouldn't that have been preparing for a long time ago. It seems that he also has a lot of ins fans, just like when Douyin became popular? Oh my God, I seem to have discovered something amazing. ”

- "What's the big deal, if you change someone to take this road, it won't work, the plan has been done for you, if it doesn't work, it won't work." ”

"Talking so much, when will you be on it, where can you see it? I really want to see it!"

At this point, the musical "Silence", performed at the Oriental Art Center, with 36 performances in a row, 18 performances by Ji Ming, 6 performances in Group B and 6 performances in Group C, and the tickets were officially released...... Seconds no.
