946 Cradle of starmaking
The Guardian, five stars, "One of the greatest works of the 21st century!
"The Independent", five stars, "Lan Li Hall, Lan Li Hall, Lan Li Hall!" This hot young actor has once again proved his absolute strength, not only the youngest Oscar winner in history, but his strength is far beyond that. Acting has truly become an art, and watching has truly become a pleasure. No one should miss out. β
The Sun, five stars, said, "The Queen's Theatre version of the classics cannot be surpassed! Give you one reason to watch this play: Rite Hall, and give you two reasons to watch this play: one is enough. β
"The Screen", five stars, "an epic play, an actor worthy of legend, and the greatest work since the turn of the millennium." β
The Daily Telegraph, five stars, "as romantic as a sonnet, as magnificent as an opera, as dramatic as a tumult, as legendary as a script, as moving as a poem." The Almeida Theatre's version of 'Les MisΓ©rables' truly awakens people's feelings and love for stage plays and even for art. The soul of the whole play, Lan Li Hall, is even more Laurence Oliver possessed!"
β¦β¦
Five stars, five stars, five stars. The dazzling and dizzying array of praise and recommendations that are all utterly scathing, the criticisms that are critical and disgusting, the mutters of artists who are self-satisfied and talk to themselves, seem to have disappeared overnight.
Even if Emma Fielding paid for all the media, there seems to be no reasonable explanation for this. The only normal inference is that this play really conquered the critics and the audience, so everyone fried the pot.
In fact, it seems to have become a common phenomenon not only for critics, but also for the 350 audience members who watched the premiere after the premiere night to share their views and opinions on social networks, with enthusiasm, impassionedness and incoherence.
"It's so exciting, it's so exciting!Ahhh
"Yes, yes, yes, yes, I won't say much about the ups and downs and wonderfulness of the story, but! How can the young master be so good-looking! Even the beard and scum and even the burlap bag are so good-looking! I'm going to die!"
Only after watching this performance in the theater with my own eyes, did I understand what a performance is, that kind of shock came to my face, exploded directly in the depths of my pupils, and after the shock was extreme, I couldn't react at all, I could only sit stunned in place. I cried so badly, I cried so much, but at the end, I forgot that I existed. God, I'm already incoherent!"
"After fifteen minutes of clapping, my hands were already unconscious, but it still couldn't express my gushing admiration and affection. Is this kind of work worthy of being famous for eternity?"
"Oh my God, the young master is really good-looking, woo woo, I want to give him a monkey. β
"This is the first time since Daniel Day-Lewis that I really like an actor. The aura and texture on Lan Li-Hall are really amazing. His performance is indescribable, I just feel that his eyes are full of stars and seas, and just one look tells all the stories. Truly admired!"
"If there are still people who question the young master's Oscar statuette, please go to the West End of London to watch 'Les Miserables' in person, okay? Ahh
"Go buy a ticket! That's my only thought, or you'll regret it!"
β¦β¦
From Facebook to Twitter, to Instagram, and even to the Yahoo community, the discussion spread vigorously, and only 350 audience members were able to enter the theater to watch the premiere for the first time, but the discussion momentum rushed to the peak, and in just 24 hours, the relevant key words have exceeded 5 million discussions.
For Hollywood commercial films, such a discussion is not worth mentioning at all, it may be a fraction, but for the West End or Broadway productions, such a discussion is far beyond the table, and the discussion heat of other plays may not even exceed 500,000.
Outside the theater audience, the audience on the periphery of the theater waited for eight and a half hours, still not able to buy a ticket for the opening night, but they were happy to do it. For the first time, they also published their observations on the Internet-
The celebrities gathered at the entrance of the theater that day, the reporters rushed to be the first to do so, the audience's feedback was incredible, and the West End of London was a sensation that day.
The fragments reflected on the side depict the pomp and excitement of the day, and further confirmed the statements of the audience and critics: This play is a real hit! Not only because of Lan Li, but also because the quality of the whole play has been well received, but only because of Lan Li, he deservedly became the absolute focus.
In addition to Lan Li, the performances of other actors have also been mentioned, especially Tom Holland, a young actor who once made a name for himself for the stage play version of "Jump Out of My World", this time playing Anjola, shining on the stage again, and other actors, who are unknown young actors, who have made headlines in major newspapers and forums overnight, and have attracted much attention.
The premiere night in London's West End has not seen such prosperity for many years, and a play has become the cradle of star-making, and in a trance, it seems to be back to London a century ago.
From the media to the audience, everyone was immersed in a jubilant excitement, and as the most authoritative and professional magazine in the British entertainment industry, "Empire" was not absent from the party, and wrote articles and commented on the repertoire for the first time.
"John Cord broke the shackles of nearly thirty years of classics and boldly and courageously presented Victor Hugo's picture of the era, and he succeeded, and the young crew, with an average age of less than twenty-three, was comparable to the challenge of the young version of 'Hamlet', and they succeeded.
Also, Lan Li Hall plays Jean d'Argent, and no amount of flowery rhetoric can describe the shock brought by this young actor, only admiration and longing. Will he go down in history and go down in history? maybe, and will he be a leading figure in Gen Y actors? Yes. β
In the article, Ned Moulin published all the details of the backstage interview in detail, presented the faces of every actor in the crew in front of the audience, and of course, the most important Blue Gift, which is undoubtedly the most comprehensive and profound of the first reports, truly showing the world in front of and behind the scenes of "Les Miserables".
At the end of the four-page feature, Ned writes:
After the Berlinale and the Oscars reached the top, everyone was curious about Hall's next move, and this was his answer. This teenager who is chasing his dream of acting is using his strength, talent and hard work to write his own legend.
Returning to the repertoire, what impressed me the most was the opening. In the ingenious and unique opening performance, Hall truly showed a solid acting foundation and strong performance appeal, every move is full of power and emotion, and even the voice is magical.
God, welcome to the world of Lanli-Hall. β
The report of "Empire" magazine is undoubtedly a summary, bringing together all the praise, all the discussion, and all the topics, and truly presenting the rave reviews that followed the staging of "Les Miserables", and at the same time, Ned also gave it a perfect five stars, expressing the magazine's position.
In fact, after the premiere night, a total of 14 critics commented on different media outlets β just 14, which is not enough for a movie, but a frenzy for a theater. Of the fourteen reviews, the lowest score was four stars, and there was only one.
From the Daily Mail: "Will this production surpass the Queen's Theatre version? I'm skeptical, but there's no doubt that John Cord and Ranley Hall have created a brilliant production that is truly a pleasure to watch, if the audience doesn't dislike six hours too long." β
Although there are some banters and ridicule, the four-star evaluation can still show the admiration of the "Daily Mail", but it is not as fanatical as other drama critics.
At the end of the premiere night, when people turn on newspapers, magazines, computers, and even television, there is a trance-like illusion that there may not be as many topics of discussion about "Les Miserables" as they imagined, but when it does, the praise is overwhelming, and there is nowhere to escape, and it is a breakthrough praise.
"No one should miss it!"
That's the deepest impression in people's minds. At this time, people recall that a few days ago, the long queue for tickets at the Almeida Theater even made the front page of the news page, and many people at the time thought that these audience members had lost their minds and were crazy just for a "blue courtesy-hall", and the fan effect was vividly brought into play.
But now, people are dumbfounded β are they half a beat slower, are they missing the best opportunity, is it too late to go to the Almeida Theatre to buy tickets?
The good news is that the Almeida Theatre immediately announced that the first week of tickets has been sold out, but the subsequent tickets have not yet opened sales channels, and three days later, that is, on Monday, they will officially open all tickets for pre-sale.
Now, the fryer is on.
