Inside the theater, the warmth is like spring; outside the theater, the cold winter.

Walking along the backstage channel all the way to the outdoors, the biting cold wind and freezing air rushed in, and the limbs that warmed up slightly on the stage became stiff again in an instant. Putting on the coat methodically, holding the scarf and gloves in his hand, left the alley and returned to the main street, still thinking about the audition just now in my mind. After a moment of daze, there was a sudden chill. Come back to life again.

I looked around, took out my mobile phone from my pocket, and was about to call Nathan. There was a hello from the direction of the theater entrance, "Lan Li?" Reflexively, I saw John Coe. The old pedantic figure of Dena, a big dark blue trench coat, was wrapped tightly, a beige plaid scarf drooped around his neck, and he was still playing with the tan top hat in his hand. He walked quickly. Going down the steps of the theater, while saying hello, stepped forward.

Time froze in an instant, and it seemed that it had returned to five years ago when he was still studying at the Royal Academy of Drama in England. That was the case for John Cod at that time. All winter, there was only the same windbreaker, the same scarf, and the same hat. The tall and thin silhouettes in dark blue led them to shuttle between the stage and the academy; until today , It seems that nothing has changed.

"How? Are you still used to it? The winter in London is really terrible." The first thing Londoners met was the weather. John wrapped the scarf up casually, "I can guarantee that the weather in the United States will never be like this."

"The United States is not only California." Tucao weather, this is also Lan Li's specialty. The winter in New York is not inferior to that in London. "Why did you come here today?" Lan Li looked back at the theater behind him. Today was an audition for the movie "Les Miserables". If he didn't guess wrong, this should be an internal audition and no outsiders are allowed to enter.

"It's not Buckingham Palace that sneaked in." John waved his hand nonchalantly, and said horrifying words lightly, but he couldn't help but laugh, "Is there any difference between the Hollywood-adapted version and the current West Side version? I watched it for a few hours today, but I didn’t realize it. If that’s the case, why should I adapt a movie version? Wouldn’t it be better for people to come to the West Side or Broadway?”

The typical theater practitioners are extremely repulsive of movies and love theater. After all, they still hope that people can return to the theater.

"Make money." Lan Li snapped his fingers. Dramas can only be performed in fixed theaters, but movies can be all over the world. In a concise and clear sentence, John choked immediately and shook his head helplessly, "Yes, who can resist the charm of money? Neither can I, so I'll just shut up honestly."

As he spoke, the sky began to float with a drizzle, dripping raindrops on the cheeks, and the coldness dipped into the blood along the pores. However, the pedestrians on the street were not in a hurry. No one opened their umbrellas, and no one rushed to escape. At most, they just buttoned their coats, kept their original pace, and moved on.

Lanly and John were not in a hurry either, but John raised his head and looked at the layers of clouds above his head, and pointed his right elbow to the right. "At this time, a cup of afternoon tea is really great, why? Okay, together?"

Obviously, John's appearance in the theater today is not a random event, so afternoon tea is not a random invitation. Lan Li smiled and nodded, "My honour." Then he walked side by side with John, stepped forward and took the conversation freely, "Is the afternoon tea in the street next door still open now?"

The West End of London is nominally the "West End", but its geographical location is actually the very center of London. It is within walking distance of the bustling Oxford Street business district, Buckingham Palace, Regent’s Park, Westminster Abbey and other famous landmarks. There are bustling streets filled with tourists, as well as petty bourgeois laneways that local talents can find. Real Londoners always know how to spend a perfect weekend in the West End without being disturbed by tourists.

"Which one? The French one?"

"No, the Indian-style one."

"Jesus Christ, which one do you like?"

"No, the scented tea from that restaurant is really awful, and it left an indelible impression on me. If we are going to that restaurant now, I suggest to go to Costa to buy a takeaway."

In fact, Costa is the same as Starbucks, a fast take-out coffee chain, but Costa is originated in Italy. Their coffee beans are even better. In the UK, Costa’s market share is higher than that of Starbucks. But for the truly traditional British, whether it’s Costa or Starbucks, this is not the right choice for drinking coffee.

Using Costa's for comparison, Lan Li's complaints are evident.

"If it were me, I would choose to commit suicide." This is John's answer. "The Indian-style house has moved away, and it is probably closed. One more street, towards Piccadilly Circus, there is a new one. There is an English afternoon tea shop. It’s young people’s style, but the refreshments are not bad, most importantly it’s quiet enough."

Talking and walking, bathing in the British wind and drizzle, vividly interpreting the meaning of "wind and rain coldly pat on the face", and finally enter the room, take off the coat, dry the rain, sit down and wait for the afternoon When the tea was served, the body gradually warmed up again. The noise outside the window was in sharp contrast with the tranquility of the room. The muscles and nerves gradually relaxed, and they were comfortable and idle.

"A sugar?" Lan Li asked. In the past, John always chose a sugar and then added milk when drinking tea.

But this time, Lan Li saw John shook his head and made a "two" sign. Lan Li didn't say much, just showed a smile, licked two candies for John's teacup, and listened. John said, "As I get older, the taste begins to sweeten."

"A candy is just three years ago." Lan Li joked.

John didn't panic at all, "For young people, three years is no more than a blink of an eye; for old people, three years is extremely long."

Lan Li raised his eyebrows and said, "I thought that this sentence should be said the other way around."

John blinked and choked; he changed the subject abruptly, "Today's performance on the stage, it seems that your basic skills have not fallen." Lan Li laughed dumbly, but did not pierce his teacher, and nodded in affirmation, "But overall The expression is still too subtle, and the lens feel of the movie is still not lost. This set is not applicable on the stage."

"The audition just now was for the movie version." Lan Li explained, "There is a camera under the stage that is recording. All the entire performance is slightly closed."

John suddenly realized, and gently retracted his jaw, "Unexpectedly, it is really an accident that you can learn something in Hollywood. It seems that in the final analysis, actors are still the most important part."

"Mr. Cod, are you complimenting me?" Lan Li looked at him flatly. Only three months ago, when the two met again, John was still picky and disgusted, thinking that Lanly had fallen behind the basic skills. Today, the situation seems to have changed slightly.

John held up the black tea with his right hand and paused for a while, then looked at Lan Li, rolled his eyes, and said angrily, "Then are you ready to celebrate now?"

"No, but at least you can be happy." The smile on Lan Li's mouth was outlined, and at the same time he held up his teacup, no sugar, no milk, this is the only way for him to enjoy English afternoon tea, "We are now Sitting here, you shouldn't make a special trip to praise my performance in the audition just now, right?"

"Why, do you still dislike it?" John's eyes widened, holding a teacup, with an angry look of King Kong, but his thin body and scholarly temperament are really not domineering at all, "Although you have no basic skills Leave it, but the sense of stage still needs to be polished." John then returned to the theme and said seriously, "The role of Enjolras is not a big challenge to you, the use of stage space, and the audience Emotional mobilization, this has performed well. How about it, are you ready to challenge more difficult roles?"

"Macbeth? Or Hamlet?" Lan Li said the answer in his heart sincerely.

"Les Miserables" is indeed outstanding, undoubtedly, and is the top of the top; but for every British academic actor, to play William Shakespeare, this is a lifelong dream. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Unfortunately, the entire theater industry is now in an extremely downturn, and the chances of Shakespeare returning to the stage are gradually decreasing.

John also smiled, as if he could not agree more with Lanly's answer, but the words he uttered were another choice, "Jan-Ajean."

As a producer, John Cod has always been bold and cautious, daring to break the shackles of tradition, and at the same time respecting the cultural heritage, often able to collide with different sparks.

When Renly was still at the academy, John rehearsed a "Hamlet sonnet", from the perspective of Hamlet, connecting all the famous works of Shakespeare at his peak, traveling through different story scripts, trying to explore the family Different factors such as life, life and society permeate Shakespeare’s creations in different periods.

After the drama was released, it was well received. When Ranley graduated, it was rumored that a foundation was trying to invest in this drama and put it on stage in the West End.

Today, John once again showed his boldness and madness. Of course, the premise is that Renly’s two previous audition videos of Eponine and Javert were also sent to John; and then Enjolras auditioned just now. Lan Li fully demonstrated his strength, while John made an accurate judgment.

"But." At any critical moment, there is always a turning point, and today is no exception. "I still need to go back and discuss with the entire creative team, and get the sponsor's consent. I will try to convince them, but, the first question Are you interested?"

Jean Agen. This is the role that Lan Li is eager to challenge, and it is also the new limit that Lan Li is eager to meet. Not only is there no possibility of rejection, but also he embraces with open arms. However, before expressing his position, Lan Li's focus has shifted slightly.
