913 is like a dream
"What's wrong? God, the young master smiled. Jesus Christ, I now finally know why everyone calls him Young Master! Oh my God, I'm going to die!"
"What are they talking about? What did the young master say just now, did you hear me? Why are they all laughing, ahhh
"How long has it been? How long has it been? It's been a torture! Why is the young master still at the door? Shouldn't he have left at once, and left us messy in the wind......? Why did he stop here! God, why did he test me like this?"
At this time, the entrance of the Almeida Theater was caught in a battle between heaven and man, whether to stick to his own ranks, or leave the queue to go to get up close and personal with Lan Li, this is definitely one of the most terrible, tormenting, and difficult tests in history, especially seeing Lan Li talking happily with other people, this is indeed a torture.
Finally, someone couldn't take it anymore.
Rebecca-Burke left her group, walked briskly up, and then caught the snippet of the words, "...... Ha, no, I wouldn't think so. I never thought I was a genius, otherwise I wouldn't have come here so early to practice. Lan Li replied with a shallow smile in his eyes, the corners of his mouth outlined a curvature, and he replied with a chuckle.
"Young Master, Young Master, so, did you come here so early to practice?" Rebecca burst into a lively light and couldn't wait to ask her first question.
At this moment, thirty or forty people gathered at the entrance of the Almeida Theater, the number was not large, and many more spectators were still standing in the middle of the procession, standing on tiptoe and poking out their heads, curious and expectant, painful and excited, trying to catch some clues;
Such an order and such momentum is really eye-catching.
"Yes. Lan Li followed the voice and nodded slightly, indicating that he was affirming; Rebecca only felt a hard blow to her chest, and those bright eyes and that shallow smile gave her a frontal crit; The delay has been longer than expected, and I now have to go to the theater to practice. I'm sorry. ”
When Lan Li's words came out, everyone made a voice of annoyance.
Rebecca's brain was still in the process of crashing, and the next second the dream was about to be shattered, she hugged her head tightly, annoyed that she hadn't come over earlier, annoyed at her indecision, and her mouth unconsciously let out an exaggerated scream. Why did she ask that question just now? Why did she awaken the young master's attention? Why! Why!
"Young master, young master. Rebecca shouted, "Excuse me, can I take a picture with you?"
"Of course, there is no problem. Lan Li's answer was so crisp that no one reacted, even Rebecca was stunned, and then Lan Li added, "But, there is only this one." I have to be in a hurry. I'm sorry. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, Lan Li helplessly spread his hands, tilted his head, and sincerely expressed his chokeholds and regrets.
But Rebecca caught a hint of playfulness and banter, and her dark brown eyes flashed with a hint of mischievous triumph, fleeting, and before she could even blink an eye, the glint disappeared, so that Rebecca wondered if she was dazzled.
Then, Rebecca was pushed out and stood beside Lan Li.
Lan Li politely hugged Rebecca's waist and bent down slightly, matching Rebecca's height, but his right hand maintained the etiquette of a gentleman and did not really stick it, Rebecca's waist could feel the warmth from the broad palm, the beating of her heart began to become disordered, and the blood all over her body quietly began to boil.
In the end, Rebecca didn't even know how Lan Li left, there was just a buzzing sound in her ears, which lasted for a long time, suppressed and suppressed, and finally couldn't be suppressed, "Ahhh......h
Countless thoughts and thoughts were surging in my mind, but I couldn't express them clearly, I just screamed uncontrollably, "Ahhh
Returning to her original position, Rebecca unexpectedly found that the team was still not chaotic, and her position was still maintained, she stared at the friends around her, everyone whistled, and some people coaxed, "Hey, girl, how about sharing the photo of you and the young master in the Facebook group? Among those of us, you are the only one who has a chance to get close to the young master." ”
Rebecca didn't speak, just nodded, nodded vigorously, and the tears slipped down her eyes suddenly.
The hustle and bustle at the entrance of the Almeida Theater gradually fell behind, and Lan Li stepped into the theater, and the cheerful mood slowly settled down. The support of the audience is both motivation and pressure, because in the stage performance of the theater, the room for error is too small, and all the performances and all the strength are presented to the audience at a glance.
There is no retouching of the shots, there is no scheduling of the director, and even the lighting patterns and the rendering of the soundtrack are reduced to a minimum, and they are completely supported by the script and the skills of the actors. Such a test is completely different from the movie, but at the same time, the difficulty also increases exponentially.
What's more, the play "Les Miserables" is six hours long, which can be called epic.
As the male lead, Lan Li wanted to truly present the essence of this monumental work, and he also needed to challenge a character so difficult, complex, and such an age span as Jean Valjean that just imagined it in his mind and his blood was already boiling.
The frenzy of the audience means that Lan Li needs to calm down and pay full attention even more.
At this time, the entire theater was still empty, and the other members of the crew had not yet come, so the entire space belonged to Lan Li alone.
Lan Li put his belongings on the edge of the stage, did not rush to warm up, nor did he rush to the stage, but began to walk inside the theater, from left to right, from front to back, measuring the entire first floor with his own footsteps, and even entered the audience seats, in different positions and corners, watching the stage, and at the same time making sounds.
For the past seven days, every day Blue Rite has entered the Almeida Theatre early and repeated the same process.
For the layman, adapting to the stage is simply adapting to the stage, but they don't understand what needs to be adapted to the stage?
For insiders, there is a basic process for adapting to the stage, but everyone has their own little habits.
The West End and Broadway stages are all cork boards with a slight elasticity that allows the actors to stretch their limbs and perform dance/martial arts moves, and there are many small mechanisms on the stage, where the wooden floor may creak in one place and the planks may be slightly soft due to age. These are details that the audience cannot see, but they are crucial to the actors.
On the other hand, it is adapting to light and space. In the process of performance, the actor needs to make full use of the whole stage, which is a kind of basic skill, which will only be limited to the actor in the center of the stage, his performance is constrained and rigid, and lacks highlights, but when using the space, the actor can not stare at the floor awkwardly, coupled with the factor of lighting, they need to have a three-dimensional feeling of the whole space.
The last aspect is the sound effects. In contemporary stage plays, actors are still not allowed to wear microphones, and actors must make corresponding adjustments from body to voice to expression to ensure that their performance can be conveyed to the audience, especially the lines, and the line skills of the stage play are crucial.
Of course, a small number of those plays that are specifically performed for visitors have begun to compromise and allow the actors to wear microphones. However, this time around, the Almeida Theater still did not compromise.
Adapting to the stage is definitely not something that ends with two laps on the field. The importance of dress rehearsals is self-evident.
However, Lan Li also has her own little quirks. He is accustomed to watching the stage from all corners of the theater, and the perspective presented by different positions is different, and the performance information he receives is also different, which is the biggest difference from the movie.
The movie screen is flat, and for the audience, the information they receive is fixed by the photographer's picture and the director's lens, but on the theatrical stage, the first row and the last row, the middle and the sides, the first floor and the second floor, the viewing angle is different, and the experience and feedback are different - so the price is different for each position in the theater.
Naturally, there are subtle differences in the location of different theaters.
Now, Lanli is adapting to the location of the Almeida Theatre. After the first floor, I went to the second and third floors, and after walking around every corner, today's warm-up exercise was over, and then I returned to the stage and began to prepare for today's rehearsal.
One after another, the members of the "Les Miserables" crew also arrived at the Almeida Theater. Today, not only the director, screenwriter and producer, but also the theater manager Emma Fielding arrived on the scene.
The choice of six hours of "Les Miserables" and a new cast of young cast was a suicidal challenge for Emma, who kept a close eye on the progress of the rehearsals, but it was only today that she arrived at the Almeida Theatre for the first time to watch a live rehearsal.
The good news is that, judging by the queue effect, at the very least, the premiere of "Les Miserables" will be a sensation. The question now is, under the sensational effect, the expectation value is rising, so can the repertoire meet people's expectations?
