Jenny certainly knows Ann. Benson would be her formidable enemy.

When playing "CSI" before, it can be said that Nick and Huanita also had a slight pressure on the performance, but this pressure phenomenon promoted the audience's viewing experience due to the relationship between the characters-Nick's actor George was very amazing to Jenny in the performance, and even a little cramped, resulting in stumbling lines, and this happened to coincide with Nick's mentality towards Huanita, so the effect of that episode was very good.

This is a lucky time, although there is a pressure scene, but both sides benefit, but in "Chicago", everything is different, this is a drama with two heroines, Velma and Lockhee have been in a strong struggle, whether it is cooperation or hostility, there is a fierce sense of competition between them. In other words, between these two characters, 'either the east wind overpowers the west wind, or the west wind overpowers the east wind', in each confrontation scene, the audience will naturally follow the guidance of the plot and start thinking about who is the winner of this contest among them. No matter who is playing Verma and who is playing Lockhee, these two actors will inevitably be compared, and objectively speaking, from the point of view of the distribution of plot scenes, Velma is superior in the competition, after all, she is glamorous and energetic throughout the musical, of course, Lockhee's role is more complex and has more room for excavation, but in terms of ornamentation, Velma really has more advantages.

It was Dietrich who was playing this role before, and the contrast between Jenny and her strengths and weaknesses was too obvious, obvious to the point that Velma's character advantage was completely overshadowed, of course, there would be no such problem. Changed Ann last week. After Benson, Jenny realized in the first audition that she was not a Dietli-level character, in addition to not having a good figure and not being as beautiful as her, Ann's acting skills were above average, and her singing and dancing skills were quite good, coupled with Velma's plot bonus, when both of them stood on the stage, she couldn't overpower Ann as much as Dietrich, and there was even the possibility of being put in the limelight by Ann. ―― It's not about the show, it's about the limelight, and the audience's attention will definitely be attracted to Ann, and she will no longer be the only star in the scene.

It cannot be denied that at that moment, Jenny was a little sour in her heart, although it was only more than a month, she was used to this feeling that the audience's attention was focused on her alone, and when she signed autographs for fans every day, the words she heard, 'I just came to watch the show for you', 'You are the brightest star in the audience', somewhat made her forget that "Chicago" was originally a play with two protagonists. But she is not Dietrich after all, and it is impossible for her to learn from Dietrich to do any off-the-cuff tricks - if she doesn't even have the confidence to play with An Biao, how can she act with those actresses and actresses in the future?

However, real gold is not afraid of fire, and after a few rehearsals, Jenny also has a certain confidence and prediction of how the whole performance situation will be - this is not a competitive sport after all, and the suspense will not be revealed until the last minute. Including Dietrich's full suppression, it has also been reflected in the rehearsal, but it has not been reacted by the audience and has not attracted James's attention. After all, she hasn't been idle in the past few months, and has always made progress.

Although at first I was a little incomprehensible about Cesare's decision to let her act in a musical, it was purely out of dedication that I did my best. But now Jenny has discovered the charm of this decision, not to mention the basic progress made in the audition and rehearsal process, in the past month and a half, one performance a day, this rhythm arrangement has been very helpful for Jenny's acting skills. Of course, this kind of progress can only be felt by herself, because her performance has always been an amazing super 1oo points, and only Jenny herself knows which ones are the help of the golden finger and which are her own achievements.

In the premiere and the week after, Jenny has been in the state of playing the gold finger for the whole scene, her empathy effect decay time is about five minutes, about every five minutes to enter the entertainment space to open the gold finger, after many times of practice and the speed of time flow of three to one, the speed at which she switches on and off the gold finger is almost negligible, as long as the timing is arranged, with her acting skills excessively, she can play the whole scene seamlessly, but after coming down, she will have a headache because she opens the gold finger too often.

A week later, Jenny was using a combination of gold finger and real acting, and thanks to her group of tech stream fans, she could easily see the feedback on the discussion board. For example, today she is singing "Nowadays" by herself, and "Roxie" has a golden finger, then there will be a post on the forum to give feedback on her "Nowadays" yesterday and today: ""Roxie" is still very stable, but in "Nowadays" I think Jenny sang better yesterday......

Of course, not everyone can buy tickets for two days next to each other, so Jenny also marked her performances for each time period of the day, so that she could refer to them when reading movie reviews. With these enthusiastic volunteer critics, she can see the progress of her acting skills very intuitively, at least in the play "Chicago." First of all, the song and dance part, with or without the gold finger, the audience's reaction is similar, and then the acting dialogue part, now the day with the gold finger will be commented as 'in a particularly good state, very moving', and if you naturally act, the audience's feedback is also 'shiny and moving'.

In addition, Jenny herself also feels that she is more able to devote herself to the role, maybe she is not too talented herself, and it takes a lot of practical practice to achieve the point that those talented actors can achieve overnight, but with the help of the acting space, she knows what it is like to be completely committed to the role and restrained into the role, with such an ideal state, it is not so impossible for her to adjust herself to get closer to the full score. She now vaguely grasps the state of entering the play - it is still more subtle to say, while abandoning herself, she still has a trace of self-awareness, but when she really grasps that state, she feels that she will not act worse than the upper body of Goldfinger. All she has to do is keep practicing, and in practice she learns how to grasp this state quickly and keep it up.

The stupid bird flies first, with three times the flow rate of the show space and the counterweight function (James arranged for someone to record the whole performance before, and Jenny can also re-enact it in the space after asking for a copy of the DVD), as long as her perseverance is enough, the speed of progress will be faster than others. In the last week, Jenny didn't open a golden finger for the first time, and she successfully smoothed the show down, without any mistakes, whether it was the audience comments waiting for autographs after the show, or the fan repo on the discussion board, and even the comments in the drama review column, they were all very good, and no one felt that her performance was worse than usual.

In the previous rehearsal with Ann, Jenny also let Mary record the whole scene, although this is not in accordance with the rules, but she is now privileged after all, even James did not talk much. After watching the rehearsal, she thinks that she and Ann should probably be on par without opening the golden finger, the two of them share their attention equally, and no one is better or worse.

This is an objective review result, but Jenny thinks that the comments and feedback may not be so objective, first, she knows that her time to be popular is too short, and the feeling of being airborne is still very strong, and even many people in the troupe feel that she is airborne by relationships, and her strength is soso. And Ann has been in the industry for four or five years, and her resume is more beautiful and orthodox, so, in the case of the two being evenly matched, drama critics may praise Ann more and think that her performance is up to expectations. Second, she is different from Ann's, Ann's ex is Dietrich, she is successful as long as she does better than Dietrich, while Jenny is herself, she is as good as before, and others don't think it will be a surprise.

Besides, and more importantly, the third is that Jenny has been performing for more than a month, and many regular audiences, including critics, have begun to fade their novelty about her, while Ann is still a new face, foreign monks can chant sutras, and people will always be more tolerant and enthusiastic about new geniuses.

This is the entertainment industry, people like the new and hate the old very quickly, even if she is improving, but as long as the speed of progress cannot keep up with the speed of latecomers, it will be ruthlessly abandoned by critics and public attention. - When Jenny was the shocker, she must have wanted to honor her abilities and enjoy the dividends of freshness, but now that she is the defender, she has complicated, even resentful and helpless emotions about the rules that have not changed at all.

It was a game that was destined to be unfair before it even began, and Jenny could already predict the outcome - she and Ann were both doing very well, on equal footing with each other, and then the critics praised Ann in the comments, 'New Face of Broadway', 'Eye-catching New Talent in Musical', 'Best of Velma', and then, in the comments, the meaner comments on 'Ann. Benson put Jennifer. Jefferson was overwhelmed, and said kindly, 'Jennifer finally met a strong opponent, and although she did well, she ...... 'In the end, everyone came to the conclusion that 'Chicago has two leading actresses who are far above the standard, and this year's Tony Awards are for them.'" ’

Maybe it's selfish to say that, but Jenny doesn't need this 'but', and of course she wants Chicago to be a true masterpiece that wins the Tony Awards, but if this result needs a 'but' as a foundation, then I'm sorry, she will never cooperate.

Seriously, she did apologize to Ann, and she hoped it was a fair game so she didn't have to cheat and could respect her opponent. However, when the reality is not as she wants, she can only turn on the golden finger.

As the signal was given, she took fifteen steps in the darkness and came to her burial position, watching Ann's charming "A11ThatJazz", silently counting the beats in her heart.

“3、2、1，3、2、1……”

The police showed up and took Velma away...... The lights change......

Between the lightning and flint, Jenny opened the acting space and skillfully selected.

"She's a formidable enemy." She said to herself, "But I'll win." ”

The light came to her, and she opened her eyes, feeling better than ever.

She will win.

Jennifer's show is also different! - Brantley realized this almost immediately.

This wasn't the second time he had seen Chicago, and while there was little mention of the regional phenomenon in his reviews, Brantley saw it at least five times. Of course, he wouldn't be out of the ordinary, Dietrich or any other character, but Jennifer. Even on the discussion board on IMDB, Brantley would often log in to read reviews (and occasionally read some J.J.J. gossip, though he quickly realized that there wasn't much valuable information to be wasted on). He was very familiar with Jennifer's performance, so she had just made an appearance tonight when Brantley noticed that something was wrong.

Perhaps because of the different subjects of the performance, Jennifer appeared in a different state tonight, which is extremely rare for her. - While many actors fluctuate in their condition, Jennifer the Monster doesn't, she's like a humanoid projector, and no matter how many times she plays it, her performance is still extremely stable, and there will never be a day when she is particularly good, but there will never be a time when she will perform a little worse. But tonight, she seems to be very excited, and as soon as she appears on the stage, she will be more 'released' than usual. If the tide section is bombarded with 1oo% firepower, then as soon as she appeared on the stage today, she took out 12o% of firepower, whether it is the tightness of her body, or the fullness of emotions contained in her lines, or even her steps and movements...... can show the anomaly of Jennifer's state tonight.

"Could it be that in the previous performance, in order to cooperate with Dietrich, she also suppressed herself?" Brantley panicked: If that's the case, how high is Jennifer's normal level? "No, it can't be, it must have been because Ann's excellent performance stimulated her, so she broke through herself again."

This kind of acting breakthrough brought by co-acting with excellent actors is not uncommon, Brantley has a feeling of 'relieved', but he can't help but be faintly a little lost, he is very familiar with this feeling, every time he witnesses a talented new star rising on the Broadway stage, as a normal person with ordinary qualifications, Brantley will have a faint envy and helplessness. The talent and hard work of these people are so dazzling, it is like a miracle, and he is not without ambition or opportunity, purely because he is not talented enough, so he can only choose to witness the miracle happening.

Cong Ann. From the time Benson signed the contract to her debut, it would not take more than half a month, and even Jennifer's appearance on the Broadway stage was a month and a half, and she was able to make another breakthrough on the basis of the original perfection in this short period of time. This is tantamount to creating another miracle on a miracle, and this 'this impossible' mood makes Brantley even pay attention to Ann, who is also very good, and only wants to know how Jennifer can go.

Ann was excellent, and after the first "A11ThatJazz", her second dance was "CE11B1OCKTANGO", and the remaining five female prisoners were eclipsed by her singing, in which she dominated the audience and made the audience mesmerized and applauded.

But Jennifer is a miracle, even if Ann is already so good, she can't take away Jennifer's dominance on the occasion of co-starring with her, which shouldn't be the case - she's prettier than Ann, but the gap is very small, and it's a musical, and most of the time the audience can't see her face clearly. With the talent and strength shown by Ann, as well as the role of the two, there is no reason for Lockhee to show any dominance when he asks for Velma's help and is ridiculed by Velma.

But Jennifer just has a way of getting the viewer's eyes to stare at her, and it's not a strength that some technical details can dictate, it's not, it's hers—her momentum.

Yes, it's her momentum. There was an indescribable aura about this girl, even though she looked surprisingly thin and flat after removing her makeup, completely devoid of the alluring country on stage, but when she appeared in the spotlight, when she looked at the audience, it was as if she was ...... It's as if she owns this stage, as if she is today's birthday star, and the audience is her personal guest, she is so unreasonable to use the privilege of the birthday star to drag everyone's attention away, and hold the dominance firmly in the palm of her hand. Neither Ann nor Dietrich had any impact on her rule.

Of course, there are still differences, when the opponent is Dietrich, this scene is decent, although there is a big highlight of Jennifer, but because of Dietrich's existence, the audience will still play from time to time, but now, Dietrich has also been replaced by a strong hand, and the audience feels like being brought from an audio-visual feast to another audio-visual feast, which is simply a spiritual multi-high. The tide, starting from Ann's first dance, was constantly rushed, and lasted for dozens of minutes, before it briefly fell back because of lawyer Billy's solo segment, but quickly, because of Jennifer's reappearance, it ushered in a period of excitement.

Another significant difference is the performance status of the two female leads, Jennifer was obviously mobilized by Ann, a strong enemy, that is, Ann, in the scene where Jennifer performed with her, it was obvious that her state was more 'free' and more incisive than before. Her performance of "Ican'tita1one" for Jennifer is orderly and easy to play, even if one person plays two roles, and the audience is so lively, but in her busy schedule, she even flatters the audience and provokes a few unbearable whistles. As for the several dialogues between the two, as well as the intrigue scenes, there are even more sparks, Velma's strength and cunning, Lockhee's hypocrisy and small abacus, are all performed very thoroughly by their lines and figures, as an audience, you don't even need too strong understanding to understand the deep personalities of the two of them.

In the previous performance, the high/high tide of the audience was actually Jennifer's "Roxie", because in the dance between the two, Dietrich couldn't support her role, resulting in the last song "Nowadays" with a sense of flaws. But today, things are different, although the two actresses have played against each other before, but they have not danced against each other, and when these two radiant beauties, who are both radiant beauties, slowly walked down the steps side by side, the audience was completely in a frenzy.

"You can like life now," Velma sang, glaring visibly at Loxi, as if intent on overshadowing her.

"You can live as you like." Lockhee winked at the audience unmoved, "You can even marry Harry at the same time-"

"Messing around with Echo." Velma hurriedly made up a wink to the audience.

As the dance music gradually warmed up, the audience abandoned the etiquette of watching the show, and some of the back-row audience stood up and whistled vigorously, accompanied by warm applause and cheers. Lockhee and Velma threw off their coats, revealing their wonderful flesh wrapped in a close-fitting short dance skirt. This stimulated the enthusiasm of the audience even more, and the musical is now even like a rock concert, when the pure dance clip of "Hothoneyrag" arrives, Velma twists his hips and challenges to Locke, and Locksey is not to be outdone when he twists his body while raising his chin at Velma, this stunning picture of beautiful women dancing and living colors is simply stunned and dizzying - this is the purest, direct visual impact of primitive instinct, Finally a wave of cheers was provoked, and the audience was so loud that it even briefly drowned out the music.

"I wish it was never!" Jon, who had come to see the show for the second time, shouted hoarsely, and she followed her new friend Harry, exclaiming as she went, "I can't believe they put on a show this afternoon!" ――If I could, I'd love to watch two shows in a row! Or maybe you can watch the afternoon show, after all, the first show is always better, don't you say, Harry? ”

"You've got pretty good luck." Harry said, "I'm sure you didn't expect Velma's cast to change when you bought the ticket, and it was so coincidental that it was on the day you bought it." Wella and the others were depressed, they bought yesterday's tickets, and when the news came out, knowing that the first change in Velma was after tonight, Wella was so angry that she cried. ”

"Listen, we should go to the back alley and wait for Jennifer." Jon wasn't listening to Harry's analysis at all, she was still immersed in the excitement after watching the movie, and jumped up and down holding Harry's arm, "I was with my mom last time, I can't stay, I can't miss it tonight." Come on, Harry, didn't you say Jennifer would sign at least fifty names? Maybe we can get a good position so I can have JJJ's signature, and maybe I'll be able to get Verma's signature later. ”

Harry happily was dragged to the back alley by Jon, but they were quickly dumbfounded - even Harry didn't expect that there were already hundreds of people waiting in the back alley, and from the time of the end, they were either spectators who left the show without watching it (but Jon wondered how anyone would be willing to leave early), or they didn't buy tickets at all, but just came to block people, and by the way, fans queuing for the midnight box office.

"No way." The experienced Harry immediately concluded, "There's no way JJJ can sign us in." ”

But instead of going home, he pulled the frustrated Jon to the door of the ticket office, "Let them wait there in vain for Jennifer, it's half past ten, and for an hour and a half of small talk, we can buy tickets for half a month later - the best spot!" ”

Jon was happy again, and she agreed without thinking, "Okay, that's it!" ”

Compared with the excited fans, Jenny backstage is much calmer, she can even be said to be very unexcited - two performances in one day is a great test of physical strength, especially when she is excited by Ann, she is more excited than usual, and now when everything is over, she is so tired that she can almost fall asleep directly.

But she obviously can't go home now, just like welcoming her debut, tonight for An's debut, there is also an afterparty backstage, if she refuses to attend, I want to know how much malicious gossip will circulate outside, besides, An Xin may not be very comfortable. So, taking the opportunity to change clothes, after sleeping in the entertainment space for an hour, she also came out of the dressing room and joined the lively party.

As in the last performance, she was immediately surrounded by a bunch of pleasantries and compliments, although it was Ann's party, but judging from the people's performance, they didn't seem to pay attention to Ann's meaning over her, in Jenny's opinion, this should be an affirmation of her performance just now, just like after the afternoon critics' show, when Brantley and Patrice came to say hello, they were the main ones. This was all seen by Jenny as evidence of her victory.

After greeting him around, Jeanne happily walked to Cesare's corner, ready to show off her success to him, and taunt him at his lunchtime success.

"Good evening." She opened with a toast. But all the words were swallowed before she could say anything, and Jeanne watched Cesare for a few seconds, then retracted the smile on her face. "What's wrong, Chesa?"

Cesare didn't mean to hide it, he nodded stiffly at Jenny, "Did you see Agata?" ”

"See, we talked a little more." Jenny finds Agata in the crowd and she is in contact with Ann. Benson spoke, "What's wrong?" ”

"The man next to Agata is her friend," Cesare said quietly. "It took me a lot of effort to get him through Agata to come to tonight's show. It's a pity that my efforts have become someone else's wedding dress, and it seems that he is more interested in Ann than in you. ”

Jeanne followed Cesare's instructions, her brow furrowed, but quickly relaxed. -- Since Renee can tolerate the redness of 'our Locke is better'. Naked consumption of her promotional slogan, tonight Ann inadvertently snatched her preparatory connections and nothing to say,**thinghappenseveryday,When greeting Jeanny and Agata just now, the man was on the side,But it seems that there is no intention to talk to her at all,At that time, Ann hadn't even come out of the dressing room.,This can only be said that people just like Ann type,It's not Cesare, she or even Agata it's fault.。

"I'm not a dollar, I can't be loved." She comforted Cesare, but also asked out of curiosity, "What kind of big man is he?" Can you care so much? ”

"During your performance of "Chicago" this year, there will be 12 B-level productions that have not set a heroine or first supporting actress, and 3 A-level productions will enter the formal preparation stage," although there is no expression, Jenny can still see that Cesare is still haunted, and he said in a flat tone, "They will all start filming in the second half of the year, and in these 16 films, the people who have the right to speak for the protagonist are roughly estimated to have a total of 78 people, of which 23 are either permanent residents or often come to New York, There are a total of 16 people I can bring to watch the show, just one movie. ”

Hearing this, Jeanne was already dizzy by Cesare's barrage of calculations - the agent seemed to be a very simple pull/skin. But Cesare had a way of making her think that it would take a talent comparable to that of a financial wizard to do it well.

“damn。” She said with emotion. "So you really thought everything through, didn't you? The whole work of the musical is to provide you with the most convenient product display or something? ”

Cesare ignored Jeanne's words, and he raised his chin in the direction of Agatta, "Gore. Wibinski is the most important of the 16, and he represents one of my favorite A-level productions. ”

"What?" A not-so-good premonition rose in Jenny's mind, and she asked Cesare, "What production?" ”

Cesare furrowed an eyebrow and glanced at her, as if to weigh whether he should tell her the truth, and after a moment he raised his glass and took a big sip.

"Disney's highlight of next year," he said, suggesting that he still hasn't let go, "Pirates of the Caribbean." ”

Pirates of the Caribbean ......

Jenny said weakly, "damn." ”
