184 "Avid Fan"
The most immediate consequence of Theolod's own revelations in his blog was that his blog was paralyzed on that day. Countless fans who heard about his scandal with "The Phantom of the Opera" have crowded into his blog page, or left messages expressing their excitement and can't wait to hear him sing, or expressing their joy that their male god has played another male god, or bitterly advising Theolod not to play such a ruinous role.
What's more, some die-hard fans of "The Phantom of the Opera" said hoarsely that Theolod's noble face and Mr. Perfect figure are not suitable for the Phantom at all, plus he has never studied vocal music at all, and a good voice does not mean that he can perfectly interpret those classic tracks.
Of course, these behaviors of running to other people's base camps to smash the field have been counterattacked by many West Orod fans, and their idols have become the youngest actor in the history of the Oscars, which makes them full of self-confidence, and they are all domineering and unreasonable when they speak, even to the extent of dead faces-
"If Weber wanted Lecht to play the Phantom...... What is he thinking? Do you want to turn The Phantom of the Opera into an idol show?"
"Oh, our actor never acts in idol dramas. β
"As far as Theolod Lecht's face is concerned, he will never be able to restore the most authentic phantom!"
"Oh, our family still won the Oscar with this face, and we are still the youngest. β
"Can he sing musicals? With his way of singing pop music, he can easily control the Phantom's difficult repertoire, that's the hell, if nothing else, he can't even sing the theme song "oftheopera", it's a disaster, you must know that the Phantom is a musical genius who sings like a kraken!"
"Oh, stop rapping, when our family played 'Ripley's version of Dickey,' every word he said made me want to marry him every minute. Wait, let me think about who is the piano composer in "The Genius Ripley", who made countless people cry and Ripley played against each other? How do I remember when the director interviewed and said that the song was played casually by the male protagonist of his family sitting in front of the piano? Hey, the actor who 'played a tune casually' actually won this Oscar. β
ββ¦β¦ Can you brainless fans stop opening your mouth and closing your mouth, you are the 'actor'??? what's wrong with the actor? Can the actor act in a good song and dance film?! After winning an Oscar, you will start to your tail, your vanity will swell, be careful, and if you fall miserably, there will be no place to cry!"
"WTF upstairs, are you looking for a fight to tear up? Do you think that other awards other than your Tony Award are not awards? Close your dog's mouth, which dog eye of you see our family Theo cocking his tail? Our family Theo has always been a down-to-earth and humble good actor who asks for advice, acts seriously, forgets to sleep and eat!"
"Plus good foodies. β
"Reconsideration. β
"Correct. β
"There's nothing wrong with it, and the weird musical fan above, let's go back to your circle, do you want to die or don't want to live when you run here to find a sense of existence?"
"Hehe, it's a blessing for your family's 'youngest actor in history' to have fans like you. β
"Why don't you get out? Oh, according to you, no matter how much you belittle my idol, I can't jump to my feet? I dislike you for being an actor in the circle, no acting skills, and an exaggerated expression. β
As soon as this remark came out, it immediately stirred up a thousand waves, and the original focus was quite simple The discussion instantly rose to two circles of the map cannon film circle and the musical theater circle, and the reporters who heard the news and the two circles of fans instantly crowded Theolod's blog, and after the blog was crowded, they quickly moved to the other party's forum, and for a time there was a lot of noise in major mainstream forums and newspapers.
The tension between the two sides amazed many entertainment reporters, and it was the first time that they had only focused on celebrities before discovering that the power of this fan group - such as Theolod - a fan group of big stars with good looks and acting skills and a good personality - can directly cause friction between Hollywood and Broadway, the film industry and the musical theater circle.
As the friction intensified, followed by the movie version of "The Phantom of the Opera", which became more and more popular as the center of the topic, this unexpected publicity trend surprised Warner executives, originally they were not optimistic about this movie and were ready to leave it alone, but they didn't expect to ignore it for a few days, how did it become one of the hottest new films recently?
And when did you hook up with that young actor? Why didn't there be any rumors before, as the producer and distributor, why did they wait until the outside world was arguing with the outside world before they heard the news of Theolod and the scandal with this movie? As for the budget of this movie, will the new actor agree to the salary? Or is this just hype?
The director, who was confused by the question, innocently scratched his face in the face of the questioning of Warner's senior management: "I don't know why Lecht just posted a blog and became like this, didn't you say that the actor selection for this movie was finalized by me and Ander? I just just came into contact with the actors I am interested in, and as for the salary or something, I haven't talked about that step yet." β
'Theolod Recht is interested in The Phantom of the Opera?' said Jeff Robinoff, Warner Bros.'s production manager, confused.
As the hottest best actor at the moment, Warner is very interested in Theolod's next work, and Jeff, who has worked with him before, knows in his heart that before he has achieved today's achievements, Theolod starring "Devil's Advocate" has made them a lot of money, and now the sales of his dubbed "Future Batman" are also very considerable, and the clown he dubbed is even praised by Mark Hamill.
In the face of such a gold-absorbing bucket, Warner has already thrown countless olive branches to his agent, but he can't look down on big-budget movies like "Artificial Intelligence" and "Ocean's Eleven", but he likes Joe Schumacher's "Phantom of the Opera" in the past? Could it be that he is a fan of musicals?
"Oh, I can't guarantee that, but the kid seems to have flown to London today, and there's a rehearsal of The Phantom of the Opera going on in the West End. Schumacher sold the lawsuit very cunningly, and sure enough, he heard Robinov on the other end say after a moment of silence:
'Well, if we can get Theorod, I can help you report to your superiors and get a little more budget.' β
Schumacher thought about Warner's investment this year, and it would be good to raise the budget to 70 million in the first day, and after Theolod won the actor, he had already stepped into the top ranks of the 20 million Hollywood salary pyramid, and if his agent stumbled with him, maybe this half of the budget would be gone.
Therefore, the key is still on Theorod's side, if he is happy and willing to lower his base salary, then the box office share after that is easy to say - anyway, how to talk about the box office share is a problem on Warner's side and has nothing to do with his budget.
Thinking of this, Schumacher sincerely hoped that his old friend could help a little harder, otherwise, it would be a waste of his painstaking efforts to euphemistically reveal to Theolod which performances Weber would appear in. Ahem, he didn't sell his teammates, after all, he didn't know if Theolod would buy tickets for the shows he said.
So, when Andrew Lloyd Webber saw Theolod standing in front of him with a smile at the end of "The Phantom of the Opera" in London's West End, he almost bit his bad friend to death with a polite smile on the surface. If Schumacher hadn't betrayed him, how would Theolod know he would be at the end?
In the days when the rehearsal of "The Phantom of the Opera" was coming to an end, Theolod bought VIP tickets for the last week, picked a position with a moderate viewing angle and would not reveal his identity too easily, put on a gentleman's hat with a wide brim, and quietly watched one performance after another.
The music and choreography of "The Phantom of the Opera" are indeed excellent, and they can be ranked at the top of his few musical memories, and the new Phantom actor John Irving Jones has played too consistently, at least for the past seven days, Theolod has not seen his nervousness and jerkiness as the new Phantom, not only that, but his perfect voice is enough to make up for the lack of acting skills. A professional film actor looks at his acting skills, and a professional musical actor looks at the expressiveness of his singing, if he can use his singing voice to make the audience ignore it, and let him, a demanding guy who is an audience can't help but examine the other party's acting skills, ignore the acting problem, then he is successful.
Crazy for love, inferior for love, domineering and affectionate, the Phantom's love for Christine is too selfish and suffocating, but it is also this selfish love that makes him choose to let go of her and the Viscount's love in the end. The Phantom may yearn for the light, but he is unwilling to drag the only light in his life into the same hell as him, perhaps out of his pride and pure love that is the only thing he has left after being consumed by his inferiority complex in front of Christine.
Love is always a complex proposition, and Theorod, who once let go of his beloved and entered the marriage hall with others, deeply understands the complex and twisted love of the Phantom. He watched Webber appear on stage as the final easter egg of "The Phantom of the Opera", and stood up with a smile on his face to applaud the actors and successful musicians on stage.
"Oh my God, that's great, I just heard that there is usually a surprise at the end of a musical, but I didn't expect this surprise to be Lord Webber!" The female audience member standing next to Theorod said excitedly, she looked at her neighbor, she was already in tears, she didn't realize that this handsome gentleman looked quite familiar, she just wanted to find someone to share her joy with, "I'll have to wait until the Lord asks him for an autograph, what about you?" I bought tickets for the last three shows, it seems that you were sitting here last night, right?" It seems that you are also a die-hard fan of "The Phantom", would you like to join us later?"
"It's my pleasure to be invited by you, ma'am," Theolod bowed his head slightly and raised the brim of his hat to salute her, "I'm glad we were so close, but I might have some personal matters to attend to later, so I'm afraid I won't be able to do so." β
"Ah, that's a shame to see Lord Webb at the end. Well, if you believe me, why don't we leave each other's phone numbers, and I'll give you an autograph later, and then find a time to give it to you? Maybe we can go and see Les MisΓ©rables together at the end of this year?" It is undeniable that Theorod's gentlemanly behavior just now, coupled with the beautiful face of light and shadow, made the girl's heart leak several beats, and she immediately continued enthusiastically.
"I'm sorry, but I don't have a sticky note with me. Theolod rejected the girl very tactfully, seeing that the actors on the stage had withdrawn, he nodded to the girl again, said "miss the company" and left, seeing that the girl was extremely regretful and said that she could find a boyfriend who was such a gentleman and would not casually leave each other's phone numbers and hook up.
Before Joj, who had returned backstage with Webber and Webb, a leading musician, could say a few words to Webb, he was interrupted by a knock on the door, and the theater assistant stood outside the door and said, "That gentleman has been found again, is he still missing this time, John?"
"Again?" John Irving Jones laughed a little in surprise, he thought for a moment before he said, "Forget it, people have a lot of perseverance, so let him in." β
Then he said to Webb, "I'm sorry, I might have to meet a very avid fan and miss a little time." β
The description "fanatical fan?" made Webb's heart suddenly rise with an ominous premonition.
"yes," Joj laughs, "he seems to have come to me every day for the last week, you know, some of the deep-pocketed audience members always get the right to visit the actors' lounge after the show, but he's more sincere than the tough guys, and if I refuse, he'll leave without saying a word." I heard the assistant say that the other party always wears a hat and sunglasses, and looks mysterious, maybe he is a well-known person?"
"......'famous'?" Webb coughed suddenly, "Okay, John, I won't disturb your communication with the fans, I still have an appointment next, I'm afraid I have to ...... in advance"
"John, Mr. Webb, here comes the man. The assistant knocked three times before pushing the door open, inviting the "fanatical fans" with "deep pockets" into the room and bringing them to the door.
"Hello, Mr. Jones, Lord Webb," said the man in a crisp suit in a three-piece suit, took off his sunglasses, took off his gentleman's hat and pressed it to his chest, and smiled at them with a harmless nobleman. "I've been intrusive these days, Mr. Jones, and I hope you'll forgive me for being abrupt. And, Lord Webb, I didn't expect you to be here too, and that's a big surprise. β
ββ¦β¦ Indeed, I didn't expect you to come to London, Mr. Lechte, and come to see the end of The Phantom of the Opera, so why don't you say it beforehand? I might even show you behind the scenes. Webpi didn't laugh. You didn't expect a ghost, look at your unsurprising tone, you obviously have a premeditated block! If you really didn't expect it, he will eat the Phantom's mask!
ββ¦β¦ Theolod Recht?" Joj's friendly smile for fans stiffened, and he suddenly thought of the recent uproar in the United States about the choice of the actor in the film version of "The Phantom of the Opera."
"Please, just call me Theo, I'm just a junior who came to visit and study......" Theorod said very sincerely.
Outside the Royal Shakespeare Theatre, fans waited for a long time in the cool night breeze without seeing the main owner, which made them wonder if Joj and Lord Webb had already snuck through some unknown back door. After lingering for more than half an hour, the crowd finally became agitated - they saw someone coming out! It was three people! Which three?
It's just that this time there are many more bodyguards than every previous one, and as soon as the die-hard fans squeezed forward, they were blocked by a group of fierce bodyguards who came out of nowhere. After struggling for a long time, they couldn't squeeze in, so fans had to stand on tiptoe and look at the door through the group of tall bodyguards.
They saw their "Phantom" and Lord walking with a familiar but familiar man who was wearing a suit, a top hat and a seemingly expensive suit, and while talking to Webb, he handed the sunglasses in his hand to the tall bodyguard who had tacitly followed at some point......
"This guy...... Why does he look so much like that Theolod Recht...... "Some fans began to bow their heads to the people around them.
"No, I haven't heard of him coming to London. β
"However, I've heard that Webb's Phantom of the Opera movie version is played by him, so it seems possible that he could have slipped into London as well......"
"He and Joj seem to know each other well. β
"it's not really him, right?"
"Ahhhh!!!!h
The commotion of the crowd was completely ignited by the screams of a fan piercing the sky, Theolod looked at the male fan who almost burst his throat, and waved at him helplessly, the next second his vision was blocked by an object, he raised his eyes to find Natel walking beside him expressionlessly.
Sensing his gaze, Nattel glanced at him, "Get in the car." β
"Yes. Theolod smiled, and was about to get into Webb's car with Joj, when he spotted someone, and he immediately stopped, patted Nattel on the shoulder, and walked towards the man.
"I'm sorry for taking your Phantom and Lord, but I've asked them to sign in advance, and I thought I wouldn't find you, but I didn't expect that we were really destined. So, this is for you, ma'am, and I can't accompany you to watch Les MisΓ©rables in the second half of the year. Theorod lifted the brim of his hat, smiled softly, and got into the car.
The girl who sat and watched two performances of "The Phantom of the Opera" with Theorod looked stupidly at the back of the car and looked at the signatures of the two on the official CD, and said without tears - she actually wants your autograph too! 166 Reading Network
