As a musical, there are countless classic singing fragments of "Les Miserables", and "Alone Shadow" is one of them, and this piece appears twice throughout the repertoire.

The first time is Epenny, she is the daughter of Denadière, in the process of getting along, she falls in love with Marius, this song tells the story of Epenny after learning that Marius and Cosette are in love, her unrequited love ended without a problem, and the second time is the end of the play, when Jean-Agen is dying, Fantine's soul appears, guiding Jean-Agen to heaven, full of sorrow and reluctance, and dies for a long time.

The melody of the two bridges is the same, but the lyrics are different, and the emotions and connotations presented are also different.

In Epenny's passages, the melodious and mournful, full and eloquent melody gives the song a special texture; more importantly, the delicate and deep emotions, the words are unforgettable, sad but tenacious, painful but tenacious - a little too much, you may fall into the trap of self-pity, a little less, you may get rid of the character's moth to the fire.

This bridge is an extremely strict test for the actors, the understanding of the lyrics, the control of the singing, the release of emotions and the control of the role, every link can not be easily sloppy;

"In comparison, 'Alone' is more challenging and more unconventional, and I'm going to perform Epenny's part. It completely subverts the minds of the audience watching this audition video. "Lan Li's decision was well thought out.

The biggest difference between now and three years ago is that Lan Li is a more mature actor, who knows his strengths and weaknesses, and his understanding and grasp of the role and the interpretation and analysis of the director have gone further. Therefore, when recording the audition video, Lan Li's thoughts also became clear.

After the warm-up exercise, Lan Li stood in front of the camera, exhaled slowly, slowly, and precipitated the emotions little by little, the impetuousness and lightness surrounding the body in the air gradually subsided, and the whole person was in an unhurried and unhurried horizontal state, his head was blank, and his mind was calm.

Different from film performance, theatrical performance needs to completely empty the brain, because the training that has been tempered and the basic skills imprinted in the bones, like a program, accurately and profoundly integrates all performances into the blood, every expression, every line, every movement, and even every movement is accurate, as if it were a delicate German instrument.

After three years away from the theater stage, just closing my eyes, the familiarity made my body tremble slightly. No nervousness, only excitement, no hustleness, only comfort. Perhaps, this is his comfort zone, it has nothing to do with the role, the stage itself makes him feel comfortable, as if he belongs here from beginning to end.

Nathan and Roy, standing behind the camera, remained quiet, and the two exchanged glances, capturing similar confusion and incomprehension in each other's eyes.

When filming films, Lan Li always read the script over and over again, cutting into the characters and performances in this way, but today, Lan Li did not read the script at all, nor did he consult the singing of "Les Miserables", he just adjusted his breathing.

The silence in the room slowly spread, and Nathan and Roy didn't dare to say anything, only staring at each other wide-eyed, at a loss.

"On-My-On, pretend she's by my side......" With her eyes closed, Lan Li sang softly, melodious and soft, her hoarse voice gliding slowly in that tranquility, like an oar pushing away the waves, shallow ripples spread. There is no special emotion, there is no special ups and downs, the mood that comes from the story, but wrapped in a cold, lonely, hesitant, sad, the faint emotion is fainted in the ripples, beautiful and moving.

"Alone, I was with her until ...... Dawn. The gentle singing paused slightly for a moment when the last word came out, only half a breath of choked throat, but in the gently raised corners of the mouth, the bitterness could not be dissolved. Smile and sadness, two completely different emotions, but perfectly combined, and then I saw Lan Li slowly open his eyes.

Those deep eyes were full of expression and devotion, as if even the cold of the night was quietly melting, "She is not there, but I feel her embrace, when I get lost, close my eyes......" The drooping eyelids, in the spilled milky halo, leaked a touch of tenderness, the corners of the mouth are so happy, so beautiful that people can't bear to be alarmed, indulged in the romance and devotion of love, like a sky full of stars pouring down, "She can find me again." ”

Without warning, without accompaniment, Lan Li sang like this, just four lyrics, but the sweetness in love was vividly displayed, but the bitterness on the tip of the tongue lingered, gentle and cold, happy and sad, without any language explanation, the character image has been sketched out sparsely.

Roy himself didn't realize it, and slowly straightened up, straightened his back, and looked intently. There is no spotlight, but Lan Li seems to have his own spotlight, which makes the world around him dim, and the entire stage is dominated by him!

Lan Li took a step to the left, one step, one step at a time, the slow pace with a hint of reluctant throbbing, as if he could hear the heartbeat of the puff and puff, and cheered, but the slightly raised face, the smile on the corner of the mouth was a little nostalgic and reluctant, and the sadness of remembrance and longing was like a mist, covering the whole person with a shallow layer of mist, adding a touch of melancholy.

"In the rain, the silver light on the face flickered, the lights of thousands of homes were like mist on the surface of the river, the treetops were dotted with starlight in the depths of the night, and all I shrank to was that she and I would stay forever. ”

Smiles, blooming, and tears glitter in the corners of eyes. In that happy and cheerful smile, faint tears flickered in his eyes. Due to the distance, neither Nathan nor Roy could see the mist in the corner of their eyes, but the light was refracted in the pupils, but it seemed that the sky full of stars fell into their eyes, and the tears were like the moonlight sprinkled on the river.

In the next second, the sparse sadness emerged from the bottom of the eyes, the smile faded little by little, the deep eyes became deeper and farther and farther away, the light of loneliness and loneliness, sadness and pain pierced the heart, and the pain slowly and slowly fainted.

"I knew it was just wishful thinking, I was talking to myself, not to her. His footsteps stopped abruptly, but the stop was so fierce that his body couldn't help but start shaking slightly. There are no superfluous movements, but the muscles that are tense to the extreme leak the turbulent waves in the depths of the heart, almost suffocating, "Although I know that I am not in her eyes, I still deceive myself, we have a future." ”

The corners of his mouth tugged slightly, outlining an arc, the bitterness of self-deprecation was so thick that he could not dissolve, and the eyelids that drooped down again, but he could see the collapse of self-esteem and pride. Crush and unrequited love, alone, alone, lonely forward, just like a dancing waltz alone, in the magnificent melody, elegant steps, moving posture, lonely and lonely but shadowy.

Silence fell, Lan Li stood silently in place, letting the grand sorrow slowly slide off his shoulders, and then took a step forward, but forced himself to stop, the hesitation and hesitation that tried to get close but were timid, so that his fingertips couldn't help but curl up, clenched into fists, and let out a desperate roar in his heart.

"I love her, but, every time the night passes, she also leaves, the river, just the river. He shook his head invisibly, the smile on the corner of his mouth was full of bitterness and pain, and his eyes were abandoned, as if he couldn't bear to see her happiness. Lan Li straightened her waist and stood up straight, showing a posture of standing up to the sky, strong and stubborn to maintain her last dignity, "Without her, my world would have changed beyond recognition, the leaves have withered, and there are only strangers left in the streets." But the dazed and lost eyes were only empty as far as the eye could see.

He staggered back half a step, but the next time, Lan Li took two big strides and stepped forward with astonishing momentum, full of urgency, full of longing, full of determination, so that both Nathan and Roy couldn't help but hold their breath, and then clearly, very clearly, saw the fire burning in those eyes, rolling in the blue water.

"I love her!" said loudly, "but every day I am more awake, and all my life, I have been deceiving myself. Falling apart, "her world is still functioning without me." Almost suffocating, "that world was full of happiness, happiness I had never tasted." "Falling into the abyss.

Singing to the fullest, wantonly, and frantically, the deep emotions in my heart continue to burst out. He knew that this was an unrequited love that was destined to have no result, he knew that this was a secret love that was destined to have no response, and he knew everything. He even knew how stupid, ridiculous, and pathetic he was, and the full emotion was completely torn apart in the high melody, and the whole room was filled with rolling emotions, deafening.

But...... But what could he do if he knew? He still couldn't control his heart. The singing stopped, and the eyes fell into unprecedented sadness, and the surging emotions gradually settled down again, but the firm and straight shoulder lines were so fragile that even a little dust could completely crush them.

"I love her. "He struggled for so long, fled for so long, and yet he couldn't betray himself," I love her. He was more determined than ever, even if he died alone, even if he never got a response, even if he was alone in the rain, he still chose to be a moth to the fire, "I love her." His eyes gradually became firm, all the confusion, all the pain, all the struggles disappeared, the deep eyes shone again, and the stars brightened, "I love her, but it's just wishful thinking." ”
