11. Chapter XI

Elisa chose "Think of Me" from The Phantom of the Opera as her repertoire.

This opening song is also the song that Christine used in the play to conquer everyone and the audience present.

It's a bit similar to Elisa in her current situation.

Looking at Elisa, you would never think that this girl is acting out another person's life, because the characteristics she presents seem to be inherent in her, not deliberately imitated.

The song "Think of Me" is an aria, and it's simple and well-structured, so there's more room for Elisa to play the rest of the world.

Her eyes flashed, and her movements and singing showed her hesitation and a hint of timidity, but it seemed that the day had come for the official performance, and soon, the melody she sang was no longer timid, but full of confidence.

If Emma's performance makes people see the familiar performance with a bit of unexpected ideas, then Elisa's performance has a complete impact from the newcomer.

Her performance techniques and skills, in fact, have been integrated and honed in the theater during this period of time, and it can also be seen that she has a strong personal style, but this style will not be too out of touch with the general environment of the dance company. Serena", anyone can see that her future is great.

Philip also had to admit that Joe's vision was still good.

But with Emma in front of her, Elisa's performance was good, and she could only barely get a tie, because she was very good at singing, especially in D major, rising by a semitone, and steadying down in E major.

No matter how eager and emotional she performs, there are some places where she can only make it look comfortable and get through the tricks, but she can't completely solve it.

Originally, everyone thought that Christine's character was not Emma. Rist, but now, they were a little uncertain, looking at Elisa for a while, and Emma for a while, a little hesitant in their hearts.

But no matter what, it's always something to be happy about when there is a good seedling in your theater.

There are endless types of Off-Broadway plots, and people are also faster. Broadway competition is under pressure, although newcomers emerge in an endless stream, but the good ones must be cultivated, and after a few years of hard work, some people will go straight to Hollywood, and some people will be old, and they can only leave the stage after a few years when their voices are not good.

With so many theaters, good seedlings are always not enough.

"Very good performance, Elisa." In fact, her career as an actor has always been smooth, good looks, good family background, coupled with her own efforts, she is even the youngest actress who is likely to win a Tony Award.

The sudden appearance of Elisa is undoubtedly a small accident in her peaceful life.

But Emma didn't resist the accident.

"Thank you." Elisa graciously accepted her compliment: "You're great too, really, especially in the kind of tune change at the turn, it's awesome to master." ”

Of course, the sincere compliment is the most comfortable to sound, although she knows that this young woman is her competitor, Emma doesn't look down on her as much as she did at the beginning.

Powerful people are always worthy of admiration.

No matter where the strength is, it is the proof of the difference between high and low people.

Elisa. Serena & Emma. Rist's performance is obviously not up and down, but if you compare it carefully, then of course it's the veteran Emma. Rist's is a little bit better.

However, they didn't forget that this Elisa was a complete newcomer.

The scales in their hearts kept shaking in the hearts of these people, and finally made a decision that made everyone jaw-dropping.

"So, four performances a week, you play two, Emma. Rist will play two shows, and see how the audience reacts next week? Jenny skillfully called Elisa with her face and arms while washing the dishes in her hands.

To be honest, her friend had reached such a height so quickly, and Jenny was happy for her and a little worried at the same time.

"Elisa, but that Emma. Miss Rist must be a little subtle about you, right? "No matter where you are, there are things where old people bully newcomers, and restaurants are like this, and the entertainment industry is naturally no exception.

People who live at the bottom have seen a lot of sophistication, and naturally they will know how to look at other people's eyes.

"Huh?" Elisa changed her position, the density and intensity of the space she had recently entered were too high, she was also a little lazy, and her speech was a little casual: "At least she is still quite kind to me on the surface." ”

Many times between people, it is enough to maintain the most basic politeness, and for Elisa, Emma. Rist's attitude towards her was at best an awkward position in the theater, but now that the opportunity to perform was in hand, as long as there was no mess during the performance, she didn't care much about those inconsequential things.

Jenny also saw Elisa's way of doing things, and since she had said so, Jenny was not so worried about her friends.

The two of them chatted happily again, and being able to have a friend who had nothing to talk to about, Elisa's highly tense nerves relaxed a lot during this time.

"Then I'll be going to cheer you on next Tuesday."

"My pleasure." Elisa responded to Jenny's words with a smile.

"Lincoln Theatre's Phantom of the Opera heroine is going to be replaced?" This was Jennifer's first reaction when she saw the cast.

She is a journalist and has loved opera since she was a child, and she also loves the fresh opera on Off-Broadway, but the only thing that really makes her watch it over and over again is this Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Phantom of the Opera".

In other words, she is a loyal fan of this show, not for a certain actor to watch this show.

The facilities at the Lincoln Theatre are second to none, and the actors performing are really good, Jennifer has become accustomed to the original team. Rist's name was replaced by an obscure Elisa. Serena.

This is a real surprise.

The Lincoln Theatre did not make any noise about the change before, and the public only thought that it was only the role of Meggie who would change the role, and Jennifer certainly thought so.

She looked at the ticket she had bought in her hand, and felt a little strange at the thought that tonight someone who had never heard of a name would play the role she liked.

When she got home, she planned to search for the name again on the Internet, and refreshed the page, and there was nothing about this Elisa. Miss Serena's acting deeds.

That said, there's a good chance she hasn't starred in any of the operas.

That is, she knows nothing more than this Elisa. Miss Serena is a woman who is about to play Christine, and she doesn't know much about the name.

Could it be that Lincoln Theatre is crazy? Let a lady with no acting experience play such an important role? After all, "The Phantom of the Opera" can be regarded as a popular opera.

Jennifer refreshed the webpage with mixed feelings, and in the small circle she followed, many people also posted at this time to ask who this Miss Serena was?

Of course, there is no shortage of Emma among them. Rist fans asked angrily.

"Hell! Oh! I dare say! The new manager of the Lincoln Theatre must have been drugged by that Miss Serena for something, a man who had never heard of it, and suddenly came out so quickly! How can there be no shady! I don't believe it! ”
