On the 23rd, the Suns played back-to-back games against the Rockets away.

After arriving in Houston, Guo Xu went to the Grand Opera House to discuss cooperation with the people in the theater.

Since 1973, the Houston Opera has premiered a total of 46 operas around the world, six of which are new works by American composers. It is one of the best opera houses in the United States, ranked fourth in the United States, and has won one Tony Award, two Grammy Awards, and two Emmy Awards, and is the only opera house in the world to have won all three awards at the same time.

Guo Xu met with the economic team to discuss the feasibility of bringing some of the theater's sets to the Toyota Center to perform musicals.

He wants to "blossom in style" next February, and at All-Star Weekend and before Friday's rookie game, he will stage the musical "Phantom of the Opera" on the Rockets' home court.

When Guo Xu told Adam Silva about this idea, Adam was directly confused, and after he conveyed it to the president David Stern, the president was also confused.

I'm rubbing, you're playing too big, aren't you? You're a football star flying around for a game, are you sure you have time to rehearse for a musical? And it's still such a famous musical, can you perform it well with casual practice?

After Guo Xu promised that he could do it, the alliance officials got together and held a meeting again and decided to support Guo Xu to do so, provided that he couldn't mess up and had to act well.

It's been a long time since All-Star Weekend had a new show, only Jordan's retirement in 2003 had relatively high ratings, and the other times were low. The lack of gimmicks, the lack of competition, and the fact that the East is beaten by the West every year in the Star Race all give the president a headache.

Having basketball fans watch a musical in a stadium sounds like nonsense, but it's a novel idea. If it is done, the atmosphere will seem to be elegant. Even if Guo Xu doesn't perform, the NBA will invite a large number of performers every year during the Star Weekend.

In addition to playing basketball, Guo Xu can also be distracted to do other things, and the league officials are used to it, so let him toss it casually.

The Phantom of the Opera, written by Andrew Lloyd Webber, is one of the most successful musicals of all time, and its global tour box office is close to $5 billion, and no one who does music wants Guo Xu to mess it up.

The people who cooperated with the opera house this time refused, so Guo Xu had to go on a trip in person, Guo Xu's pop songs were all at the top of the billboard charts, and they were convinced, but they didn't believe that he could play the role of "Phantom" well.

Guo Xu went to the theater, and then sang a cappella "The? Musid?of?the? Night", said the person from the theater...... It's so fragrant.

If it is other musicals, Guo Xu does not have the confidence to sing well, "The Phantom of the Opera" is an exception, he practiced very professionally in the time loop, and the audience applauded in the last few performances.

Everyone else is rehearsing, he directly uses "actual combat" to improve his strength and experience, and by the way, he even practiced his acting skills together, and he especially entered the play when acting in musicals.

And Guo Xu has a clear reference, whether it is the movie version or the musical version, he has seen it in his previous life, and he is extremely impressed.

He imitated the famous "Phantom of the Opera 25th Anniversary Concert" in his previous life, and the singing voice of "Ramen" Lyming Callemuro. At this time, Callemuro was still touring "Miss Saigon" in the UK, and everyone has not seen the phantom he played, and Guo Xu's starring role will definitely be very outstanding.

In his previous life, Kalemuro played the Phantom in the West End version of The Phantom of the Opera in September 2007, and he was also the Phantom actor in the musical's 21st anniversary celebration. He brought a fresh interpretation and breathed new life into the role, which was unanimously recognized by fans of the show and earned him a Drama Fan's Choice Award nomination for Best Actor.

Of course, Guo Xu's singing strength cannot reach the top of Broadway, and his advantage is that there was a movie version for comparison before, which increased the attention of this recent musical.

His voice is much stronger than the 2004 movie version of Gerald Butler's Phantom, Gerald is a good actor, and his acting skills in the movie are incomparable to those of singers, and he is still the most handsome Phantom, but he sings really the worst, his voice is too rough, and he is short of breath, and he can't compare with a singer who has been practicing qi for a long time, and he can't sing in many high-pitched places.

After the movie was released, many people complained about Gerald's singing skills, but his grasp of the emotional tone of the lines and the degree of explosion are the biggest highlights of the movie. Gerald may not be suitable for singing musicals, but he is suitable for playing such a character, and his performance is subtle and deep but unusual.

Guo Xu has a characteristic, his breath can explode professional singers, because his body is not comparable to any singer, and his lung capacity is amazing, which makes him soaring high pitch is his strength.

His plan is to imitate the singing voice of "Ramen" and Gerald's performance, and his appearance is also a more handsome phantom with a mask, only half of his face is disfigured, which can attract fans more. If you really want to make it a "ramen", that big-liped monster, he is not interested in singing.

After Guo Xu came out, the Houston Opera House happily agreed to cooperate, not only to set up a set in the Toyota Center, but also to send some actors to cooperate with the performance. There are many characters in this play, and if it weren't for the fact that Houston has a theater that can perform it itself, Guo Xu would not have realized this plan at all.

Now it's simple, both sides said that the supporting roles are all local in Houston, the male protagonist is played by Guo Xu, and the second male and female first are also selected by Guo Xu.

Guo Xu's reason was that he wanted to find someone who was suitable, and the rehearsal for the three of them had to be held in Phoenix, otherwise he wouldn't have time at all. To put it bluntly, he doesn't look down on Christine and Raul in Houston, they are both unknown people, and it's not interesting to work with them.

It's also impossible to find a partner for the heroine of the movie. The worst performance in the movie version is the heroine Amy Rosen, from beginning to end with an expression that can be called the American Yang Tianbao, the classic fourth act "Underground Labyrinth", in the movie version, she even sat on the boat and leaned over, posing a beautiful beauty pose and soaring high notes, for fear that the audience would not know that the voice of the movie version was matched in the later stage?

If it is a live singing, Guo Xu estimates that Amy will not be able to sing at all, and she will not be able to act well.

She was born in September 86, and she has many opportunities to become famous, starring in "The Phantom of the Opera" and "The Day After Tomorrow" at the age of 18, and later "Poseidon", "Mystic River" and so on, the result is all one expression, so she was out of breath at the age of 21.

After that, the only movie she received was "Dragon Ball Total Evolution", which had an extremely bad reputation, and then Bulma and Goku went together to act in the TV series "Shameless", all kinds of naked bed scenes, and became the eldest sister and eldest brother-in-law.

Guo Xu already has the right candidate in his heart, and asked Harpy Waters to find two people.

The heroine is Shiella Boggs, born in Denver, Colorado, USA, musical theater actress and soprano singer.

Xiella is one year younger than Guo Xu, nicknamed "mermaid", at this time she was not famous, only played some small roles, in 2006 she served as a substitute for the heroine in the US tour of "Les Miserables". The musical theater circle needs qualifications to become famous, and she is not incapable, but she has not yet got the opportunity.

In 2006, she made her debut in Las Vegas as the heroine of "The Phantom of the Opera", and then starred in the Disney animated musical "The Little Mermaid", which quickly established herself on Broadway, winning multiple awards.

The second male can find "Ocean Lord Orm" to play, he sings the best in the movie, and his image also has 90 points, and the 10 points were castrated when he played "Fruit Hard Candy......
