1098 Les Miserables

In December London, the cold is pressing, the frosty gray clouds spread out in large areas, there is not a single ray of sunlight in sight, the pedestrians come and go in a hurry, and the gray, black, and blue coats are connected into a vast gloom, passing between the quaint city streets, and even the big red double-decker buses and telephone booths seem to disappear into this dark color.

This year's winter has been particularly difficult, the snow has not fallen for a long time, the wind is getting more and more evil day by day, the temperature is getting more and more wet and cold day by day, and the continuous cold seems to be endless, trapped in this winter forever.

Now, the whole city is waiting for snow. As long as it snows, everything will gradually get better.

"It's a cloudy day again, it's a typical London, listeners who are listening to the radio, if you have just arrived in London today, welcome to the Republic of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, this is our winter, it has never changed, it doesn't look like it will change, so ...... Welcome. I'm Daniel, and you're listening to the BBC radio channel. ”

In the cold weather, the warm voice of the radio anchor is like a warm cup of hot chocolate, becoming the best companion on the way to work and in the office, and even the coffee house lazily echoes the host's voice, guiding people back to the 80s, or even more distant past.

"Even though it's an annoying workday, it's not without good news in the midst of a busy schedule. 'Les Misérables', not the version of the Almeida Theatre, but the version of the film created by Cameron Mackintosh in collaboration with Hollywood, is due today for its world premiere in Trafalgar Square. ”

Radio waves are transmitted to all corners of the city of London, reminding every listener once again that the latest movie release information that has been boiling over the past half month is now the time to cash in.

"'Les Miserables' has always been one of the most popular plays in the West End, and even if the embellishment of 'one of them' is removed, it is estimated that many audiences will agree. However, in the last year, this play has clearly been hot, and it is bound to be a year of 'Les Misérables'. ”

"First of all, in the first half of the year, John Ccord and the Almeida Theater re-arranged 'Les Misérables', they not only rediscovered the grandeur and profundity of Victor Hugo's original work, but also boldly used a series of young actors, re-giving life to the play and characters, winning unanimous praise from inside and outside the industry!"

The subsequent Hollywood adaptation kicked off the project around the same time, with Cameron McIntosh teaming up with Tom Hober to make sure an original film could be created. In the past six months, along with the great success of the theatrical version, the film version has also sparked countless discussions and expectations. ”

"Today, the world premiere of the film version in London is about to take place, and it is clear that this is a great event not to be missed. Personally, though, I'm more curious to see if Ranley Hall, who is now filming a new film in Surrey, will show up in Trafalgar Square to cheer on the film, and as far as I know, she almost joined the film version during the casting phase. ”

……

In the radio program, no effort is being spared to promote the movie version of "Les Miserables"!

The production cost of $61 million is the top for a musical, compared with "Chicago", which won the Oscar for Best Picture that year, the cost budget is 45 million, and the big-named, star-studded "Nine" spent 80 million to build.

The whole production cast is luxurious, with Oscar-winning director Tom Hopper teaming up with Tony Award for Best Producer Cameron McIntosh, and Oscar-winning British producer Eric-Fellner, who has created "Pride and Prejudice", "Atonement", "Fox Talks to Nixon", "Love Actually", "Elizabeth" and other masterpieces, also appears in the list of producers.

Undoubtedly, the project establishment stage can be determined, and this will be another masterpiece that will hit the Oscars!

After the news was confirmed, everyone was boiling, everyone wanted to be a part of this work, and everyone was concerned about the future trends of this work, and in the end, the joining of a series of big-name actors once again confirmed people's conjectures, and it deservedly became the most popular work in this year's awards season.

It hasn't been released yet, so I'm looking forward to it.

In early November, Universal Pictures officially confirmed that "Les Miserables" will have its world premiere in London on December 5, and then on December 25, the film will be officially released in Spain, China, Hong Kong, Australia, Canada, the United States, and of course, the United Kingdom.

Just this detail shows that Universal Pictures is full of confidence in the movie.

chose the UK to launch its world premiere, took the lead in opening the local market, and relied on Cameron McIntosh's strong network to open up the situation and win support and affirmation from the UK.

Everyone says that London is undoubtedly the best city in the world to premiere in Les Misérables, first at the Queen's Theatre and then at the Almeida Theatre, a play that has been performed in the city for almost three decades and has an unrivalled mass base.

People are familiar with the play, they know it, and they are willing to pursue it.

Today's premiere on Trafalgar Square is a vivid proof of this, even if the ice pierces the stocks, even the wind is raging, but it still can't stop the audience from coming to show their support.

More than 2,000 spectators bustled around the square, becoming the brightest spot of the world premiere of "Les Miserables", completely ignoring the majesty of winter, even compared to many commercial films in the summer file, lighting up the gloom and depression of London, becoming the most sought-after premiere of this year's film market.

Of course, world premieres are always special, and the intention to choose London is just that.

As for the line-up of more than 400 reporters, it's no surprise that whether it's the ambition of Universal Pictures, the high profile of the world premiere, or the series of buzz that "Les Miserables" has created this year, it is enough to make reporters rush to Trafalgar Square in the cold wind to get first-hand information.

It was a great time, as the radio broadcasts put it, and similarly, as the radio broadcasts said, the name "Lanley-Hall" once again stole the limelight.

"Hugh, it was rumored that during the audition process, Lan Li wanted to play Jean-Argent, and his excellent performance impressed Cameron, but unfortunately he was not able to make it in the end. Is this true? If so, what do you think about it?"

Hugh Jackman, who arrived on the red carpet, didn't even have time to adjust his pace, and the reporters couldn't wait to open fire, Hugh was obviously prepared for this, and laughed happily, "Real, this is real." He nodded in the affirmative.

"There's no doubt that Lan Li is a great actor, and it's no secret that he has the absolute ability and talent to play the role of Gran Agen. Hugh smiled and gushed his point, and it seemed that even if the reporter didn't ask, he would take the initiative to bring it up, "I've watched the Blue Rite version of Jean-Argent, twice on the West End and once on Broadway." In fact, he won my respect, and admiration, and at the same time inspired my arrogance......"

When "arrogant" was uttered, all the reporters chuckled, and Hugh spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders self-deprecatingly, "I realized that I had to give it my all." There is no high or low acting, but I hope that presenting another version of Jean-Argent will inject my own understanding, at least, not to let the movie version be delayed because of my existence. ”

The scene burst into laughter.

Humble and confident, sincere and humorous, Hugh Jackman is always like this, and the charisma of personality flows imperceptibly and makes people fall in love with it.

Later, when the reporter aggressively asked Hugh whose version of Jean-Agen he thought was better, Hugh not only did not feel annoyed, but also generously said, "Lan Li, I will choose Lan Li." I think everyone has their own preferences, and I hope that someone will like my version more, but personally, I like the interpretation of the Blue Rite. It was indeed a pleasure to watch him perform. ”

"Of course, part of the reason is that if I had chosen myself, it would have been too ugly to see this scene. As soon as the conversation changed, Hugh laughed and teased, "So, in order to maintain my image, I still choose Lan Li." I believe that Debra will choose mine, and that is enough. ”

Deborra-Lee-Furness, Hugh's wife.

All the reporters in the audience collectively began to coax, complaining that Hugh once again showed affection. It can be seen that Hugh and the reporter have a really good relationship and get along very happily.

However, for the sake of gimmicks and explosive points, reporters naturally will not let go of Hugh so easily, and the questions are still not over.

"Hugh, will Lan Li attend the premiere today?" Just this summer, Lan Li attended the London premiere of "The Amazing Spider-Man", and expressed his support for Andrew Garfield, and now, Lan Li is filming in Surrey, thirty minutes away by car, and if he wants, it is also a matter of minutes to come to London.

Originally, the reporter wanted to provoke, but unexpectedly, Hugh showed an excited expression, "Can you send out an invitation? I mean, I'm looking forward to Lan Li attending the premiere." I know he's very busy right now, but if we can sit down and talk face-to-face and talk about how we understand the role, I think it's a really interesting thing to do. ”

Looking at Hugh in front of them, the reporters couldn't help but hold their foreheads, they knew that there should be no hope for the news breaking point.
