765 Mouth full of bitterness
Standing in place, Eddie only felt a burst of emptiness in his chest, indescribable and indescribable, and opened his mouth to think that he wanted to say something, but found that he had not said anything after all, and finally could only stand in place in despair, full of bitterness and confusion.
Performance aura, this is a mysterious thing that can't be seen but can be felt, in the bodies of those old drama bones, you can always feel the suppression from the aura as if nothing, but just now, Eddie felt it on Lan Li's body, this is simply ...... It's ridiculous!
Eyes, expressions, movements, lines, emotions, limbs. This is a typical and pure academic performance, not an imaginary amateur wilderness. In Lan Li's performance, there is a powerful force hidden, like an invisible rope, involving the flow and direction of the plot, Eddie can clearly feel that Lan Li's momentum is rising little by little, retracting and relaxing freely, and firmly controlling the rhythm of the entire performance in the palm of his hand.
In the second half of the "Red and Black" section, Anjola occupies the moral high ground and then suppresses Marius's momentum, which is the normal direction of the plot. But in the process of performance, it is not only the second half, in the first half, Lan Li's emotions are so strong, so delicate, so real, little by little seeping out, inadvertently, Eddie's performance is involved.
In order to form a confrontation, in order to take a stand, Eddie had to push a little harder than usual to avoid the whole performance being completely brought into the rhythm of Lan Li. This has led to the phenomenon of over-exertion. But, despite this, Eddie is still completely inferior, he can even feel that his hands and feet are bound, unable to struggle to get rid of, after entering the second half, Eddie is completely reduced to a spectator, he only feels that he is so small, so nothing, so humble, even worse than dust, the whole stage is involved in Lan Li's performance aura.
On top of that, Lan Li made slight changes during the performance.
According to the original version, the reason why Anqula was able to drive everyone's emotions was because the revolution / life occupied the commanding heights, which was a great mission that no one could refute; The enthusiasm and excitement of burning life not only touched people's souls, but also brought tears to their eyes.
This is the root cause of Eddie's feeling small. Even Marius's passion for love, in the face of Anchola's madness and persistence, was so insignificant.
He clenched his fists and tried to get back together, but ...... Eddie felt nothing but weakness.
He hated Lan Li so much, and he hated himself so much. Because deep down, he knows that the stage will not lie, and the difference in strength is clear at a glance. Lan Li's performance just now was impeccable, Lan Li proved his strength and proved his excellence. Almost uncontrollable, he began to be jealous of Lan Li.
Jealousy, this is the demonic emotion, gnawing at the heart and bones, little by little disintegrating willpower and finally falling into darkness.
Eddie let out a long breath, the bitterness on the tip of his tongue spread, his shoulders drooped, and he raised his hands helplessly and began to applaud. At least that's what he can do, and that's what he should.
The applause thundered, surging against the eardrums, and the satisfaction and pride that filled my chest as I stood on the stage. Lan Li exhaled lightly, politely thanked the curtain call, and the tense string in his heart relaxed a little.
In the performance of the entire singing section just now, Lan Li was concentrated and highly concentrated, and every change and turn was firmly under control. The last little scene, rushing to the table and chairs, is also arranged in advance, making full use of the stage space, if it is in a movie, this way of acting is too much, a bit of grandstanding, but on the stage, this way can push the emotions to a climax - after all, the audience can not see the subtle changes in the actors' eyes, but they can see the action of jumping on the table.
Now, it seems, his adventure was a success!
After withdrawing from the role, Lan Li reviewed the entire performance just now. This is indeed the most hearty and handy performance in the past six months, not only because of the return to the theater stage, but also because of the polishing of every Hollywood production.
From "buried alive" to "love crazy", from "anti-cancer me" to "detachment", each work is a challenge and a breakthrough for Lan Li, he is constantly polishing his performance methods, performance details, and constantly deepening his understanding of performance, and finally, he has achieved what he is now.
If he hadn't experienced the baptism of these works, just sticking to the West End or Broadway in London, then Lan Li would not have been able to complete the transformation of his acting skills, and similarly, if he hadn't completed the cross-comparison of the two works of "Fighting Cancer" and "Detachment", and returned to the theater stage in advance, the control of the performance and the sensibility of the characters may not be the state it is today.
Perhaps, now is the perfect time.
There was excitement in his chest, he enjoyed the stage so much, and he enjoyed the moment so much. The blood flowing in his bones seems to be branded with performance, which is intoxicating.
Turning his head, Lan Li looked at Eddie, who was standing not far away, and nodded politely. In this scene just now, both actors and actresses are crucial, and the traction and pull of emotions is only a slap, which can't be filmed. , who later won the Oscar for Best Actor with "The Theory of Everything", has no doubt about his basic skills in drama.
Eddie seemed a little distracted, half a beat slower, but still felt Lan Li's eyes, raised his head, showed a smile, nodded in a panic, and then withdrew his gaze and fell into his own thoughts.
The applause lasted only a short while, after all, it was just an audition, not a formal theater actor. Cameron turned to look at Tom beside him, casting an inquiring gaze, as if asking, "Jean-Argent?"
Tom's expression hesitated. Lan Li is really good, Epenny, Shawei and Anjola, the three characters are three colors, not only full of personal characteristics, but also play each role in place, which is really too rare, indirectly proves that Lan Li is enough to be competent for more difficult roles. Jean-Argent, it's a choice.
However, Lan Li is only twenty-two years old, and the challenge is still too difficult, especially for a shooting method like a movie that enlarges pores, even if the makeup is exquisite, it is inevitable that there will be flaws;
Tom is a traditional British, which means being conservative, serious, demanding, restrained, staying within his comfort zone and refusing to break too many rules. What he is best at is historical dramas, such as "Elizabeth I", "John Adams", "The King's Speech", and "Les Miserables" is no exception.
If he could, Tom was very willing to play the role of Marius by Lan Lilai, but unfortunately, Lan Li was not interested.
"Let's take a look at it again. "We need to look at the whole situation. Today's auditions are only part of the story. After a moment's hesitation, Tom made a choice that matched his personality.
Cameron didn't refute it, and he agreed with Tom's words - it needs to be carefully considered. Today's audition is definitely a big plus, but is it enough for Lan Li to be qualified for Jean-Argent? and is it enough for Lan Li to beat Hugh? Cameron thinks they need to calm down and think about it.
Just as he was about to speak, Cameron remembered something else, and asked in a low voice, "What about the other person?"
Tom's answer wasn't too surprising, "Let's audition for another round." His basic skills are very solid, and his performance is not bad. You can put it together with a few other alternates. "After careful consideration, the decision is made, and the style is consistent.
Cameron didn't say much, looked back at the stage, and said, "Okay, your auditions are over." His gaze fell on Lan Li, and he said with a smile, "Or do you have something else to show?" At the age of twenty-two, challenging Jean Jean is definitely against the sky, maybe Lan Li needs more space and time.
Lan Li chuckled, "No, no. I'm not going to take up the other actors' audition time. ”
This is the case on the theatrical stage, on a platform, what the actors show within a minute and within an hour is actually almost the same, and it must present a relatively stable level, without ups and downs, huge gaps, to ensure that the quality of the whole play is above the standard. It can be understood that they have no upper limit, but a lower limit, and the lower limit is high.
Therefore, in the two minutes of singing just now, everything that should be shown has been shown, and what is not shown, even if there is more time, it is still in vain.
Lan Li politely finished the curtain call, and then walked down from the other side of the stage, leaving room for Marius and Angela in the next group.
Eddie's pace slowed down again, and he looked at Cameron and Tom seriously, but they didn't say anything, just silence. Eddie's heart sank like this, so, did he miss his chance? Did he screw up his chance?
Just thinking about this, Eddie's steps faltered a little, and he almost ran away from the stage. After entering the backstage, I saw Lan Li's back.
According to aristocratic etiquette, he should be elegant and polite, nod in greeting, and then turn around to say goodbye. But, not today, today he can't hold on any longer, he has to leave, get out of here quickly, or he's going to suffocate. So, Eddie lowered his head and walked away quickly, walking faster and faster, until he overtook Lan Li in a blink of an eye and disappeared at the end of the long corridor.
