With a hint of helplessness in that frankness, Lan Li couldn’t help but look down. He had to lower his eyes and conceal his smile. Then he looked at Andy again, “First of all, I can get the opportunity to audition, I Later, I will call John to exchange information about this, but whether I can be selected depends on my performance."

After going around around, the work on the drama project finally turned back to John Cod, which was really unexpected.

However, Lanly can also understand Andy’s frustration. After all, drama is not his specialty. After working hard for so long, it takes no effort. That kind of nihility is inevitable. To be honest, Andy nodded in agreement with him. Returning to the theater stage, this is no longer an easy task.

"But, your work is still not over. Regarding remuneration, about the schedule of the performance, about the promotion plan, and even whether the show will land in Hollywood, how it will land, and what kind of cooperation method will it be landed, all these require the agent to come out." Lan Li To be honest, these matters are extremely cumbersome and require the professional skills of an agent to take care of; if there is no agent, the actors will be handed over to the union to take care of them. "Emma Fielding is a difficult manager, but her bottom line is also It's very clear, everything is for the work. Under her leadership, the Almeida Theatre has been regarded as the most dynamic theatre in the West End in the past few years."

Andy didn't respond, just listened carefully. If he only relied on his own inquiries, these internal information would probably take a lot of effort; more importantly, Lanly's knowledge of the West End is obviously very important, and he has been hiding it before! Taking a step back, if he always confines his gaze to Broadway, he probably won't have a chance to get a glimpse of Lan Li's side.

"Secondly, I am just an unknown person in the West End of London, especially in Europe." Lan Li's mouth has a smile, but his eyes are extremely sincere, "Andy, I'm only 22 years old, and I'm only in London. The West End has been rolling for a year. Before the Pacific War, no one in the art circle knew my name, whether it was the United States or Europe."

Lan Li emphasized the art circle, not the life circle.

"However, if you are willing to talk to Emma and John, they may reveal some of my secrets." Lan Li said half-jokingly, "Shhh, remember to keep it secret."

Andy's expression has not changed, his actions have not changed, and his mind is thinking.

As Lan Li said, he is only twenty-two years old, and it is impossible to have any reputation and reputation in the West End of London; but from another perspective, as Lan Li’s home base, it does not seem to be a stagnant water, at least Lan Li’s college Orthodox origin is worth noting. Next, after heading to Berlin, can I use it a bit?

Putting his thoughts aside for the time being, Andy looked at Lan Li again, "So, you have no problem with'Les Miserables'?" Tonight, I went to the Almeida Theater to watch the drama. Andy was mainly trying to get an audition for Lan Li. But now it seems that there is no need to worry about the audition, and Renly himself is responsible for the performance part. Andy's work focus suddenly changed-he should start thinking about Berlin.

"Yes, leave the audition work to me." Lan Li simply agreed.

As one of the most classic plays in the field of drama, "Les Miserables" is different from "Hamlet", "Macbeth" and other Shakespeare plays, because the former is a musical, and the tests for actors range from acting skills to singing skills to stage expression. This is all-round; while Shakespeare's repertoire is a drama, the foundation of the lines is very important, especially Shakespeare's obscure and poetic sonnets, it is absolutely the ultimate test.

But no one can deny that the difficulty and depth of thought of "Les Miserables" is not inferior to that of Shakespeare, and the difficulty of subsequent adaptations, remakes, and remakes has increased exponentially.

In the West End of London, only the 1985 version of "Les Miserables" received the recognition of the Oliver Award. The later versions only received the most popular awards for the audience, and other departments could not even get nominations; Broadway Among them, the 1987 version swept across the army, and several subsequent versions were praised and criticized. The 2006 version won three nominations but returned empty-handed.

Orchestrating "Les Miserables" is not a difficult task, but the adaptation, interpretation, and performance are excellent, but it is difficult to reach the sky, because the West End edition in 1985 and the Broadway edition in 1987 are too classic to be surpassed.

The same is true for actors, performing classic roles, they always bear more pressure-because the audience is so familiar with the role, the senior audience even clearly knows every line, every emotional transition, any little bit of negligence All mistakes may become fatal flaws that will bury the entire play.

Even in the field of contemporary drama, acting in Shakespeare's plays is still considered one of the ultimate challenges for actors. There are not many plays that can be compared with it, but there are not many, "Les Miserables" is one of them.

Now, he has the opportunity to challenge the "Les Miserables", which is undoubtedly rare for Lan Li. Three years ago, George and Elizabeth offered a challenge to "Hamlet", which he missed; three years later, he was given the opportunity to challenge the "Les Miserables", this time he didn't want to repeat the same mistakes.

"For the movie version, you should also submit an audition video." Andy added again, "Anyway, it's just an audition. There is no loss if you try it."

Andy was still worried. After the audition opportunities for the drama version surfaced, Lan Li simply ignored the movie version and had to explain more. But unexpectedly, Lan Li smiled and nodded, almost without any hesitation or hesitation, the words of affirmation passed, "Okay, I get it."

When promised so readily, Andy narrowed his eyes instead, looked at it carefully, full of doubts of disbelief. Before today, Lanly was a man who said what he said and did what he said. Andy had never doubted Lanly’s promise and credibility; but today, For the first time, Andy discovered that it was hidden in the city of London. , And the unknown side of Lan Li, it is inevitable that Andy feels that there is something in Lan Li's words.

The twinkling eyes made Lanly laugh dumbstruck, "Don't worry. Whether it's the movie version or the drama version, it's still the same work in the final analysis." Especially the movie version of Tom Hopper, "In auditioning." In the stage, the content that the actors can present and the skills that the actors can show are almost the same. The same video tape is delivered to dramas and movies only incidentally. After that, when the invitations of both works are confirmed, it is the other one. Story, then it will be too late to make a choice."

Such a rhetoric was very convincing, but Andy shook his head slightly, "Before I meet Emma and John, are you sure there is nothing else to add?"

Lan Li couldn't help but chuckled, did not answer, but stood up, "You'd better set off now. The rush hour in London is coming, you don't want to be blocked on the road." After that, Lan Li walked into the house, ready to start today's exercise——

During the filming of "Edge of Tomorrow", he still insisted on polishing his basic martial arts skills. However, Lan Li also knows that this is water mill work, and years of exercise can only make small achievements.

Andy and Roy exchanged glances, Roy shrugged helplessly and laughed, "You go back to London first. If you have any questions, we will call again."

With that "good guy/good brother" appearance, Andy said with a smile, "If I remember correctly, you and Lan Li are on the same front, right?" The relationship between the manager and the artist is closer. , The only thing that managers need to consider is the interests of artists, and there are many things that managers need to weigh.

Roy was noncommittal, "When our goals are the same, we are on the same front." He was straightforward and straightforward.

Andy chewed carefully and nodded in recognition, "Call in the evening." Then, Andy got up and left the photography base, coming and going in a hurry. This is an extremely busy season.

After dinner, Roy started to get busy. The Grammys needed to be communicated as soon as possible. After writing a few emails, and then looking at the time, it turned out that it was already half past nine, and time passed extremely fast. Judging by time, Andy should have started watching "Macbeth" now. I don't know if the talks after the show went smoothly. Thinking of this, Roy got up and walked towards Lan Li's room.

The room door was unlocked, Roy knocked on the door politely, then opened the door and walked in. Then he saw Nathan playing with the camera, "...are you sure? The light here doesn't look good~www .lightnovelpub.net~ Otherwise, tomorrow morning, we will find time to shoot? I checked, there is no schedule for your shooting tomorrow morning."

"What to shoot?" Roy interjected and asked.

Lan Li was standing in the middle of the hall, the obstructive chairs and low tables were removed, and a clear space was emptied. "Audition video." After an explanation, he said to Nathan, "There is plenty of light, that's enough. The focus of the audition video is on the deep impression of the moment, not on the details of the performance.

Nathan lifted his shoulders, "I believe that you have left a deep enough impression on people, even if there is no audition video." Despite the words, Nathan still stood next to the tripod and began to fix the camera.

"Taking the audition video now?" Roy said unexpectedly. A few hours ago, Andy had only left the photography base, and Lanly was now actually shooting the audition video. So urgent and so active, it can be seen that Lan Li is serious about returning to the theater stage.

"Audition video can not be done in one shot." Lan Li explained with a smile, "Given that for the next period of time, I have work to complete every day, and there is still a lot of work. So, in order to get a satisfactory volume It’s better to start now."
