The entire Almeida Theater was immersed in applause. The applause was so crazy that the entire theater began to shake, and the roof seemed to be crumbling. The huge applause broke free from the shackles of the theater walls and broke through the dense night. , Began to echo between the streets of London’s West End.

So shocking, so terrifying, so thrilling.

The reporters waiting at the door were stunned, and the audience waiting by the side of the street was stunned. Even the onlookers passing by the theater could not help but stop, calm down and listen carefully, "Papa!" It's just applause, simple and pure applause, but such simple applause contains endless emotional information:

Excitement, excitement, longing, affection, happiness, joy, joy, and respect and admiration.

The mighty applause, like a tornado, began to sweep through the Almeida Theater as its center. Because the applause was too turbulent and surging, reporters and audiences outside the theater couldn't help but look at each other, shock and astonishment in their eyes, but then a strong desire emerged—

They want to watch the play with their own eyes. Even if it is six hours, even if its tickets have been sold, even if tonight is just the night of the premiere; even if the critics have not seen the affirmation, but at this moment, the thunderous applause is the best explanation. It is also the best invitation.

Everyone knows deeply in their hearts: The Almeida Theater has achieved success, a brilliant and magnificent success.

Ned Mullan’s eyes are full of incredible, he no longer remembers, when was the last time London’s West End felt such a heat wave? Is it the West End version of "Out of My World"? No, no, it should be earlier, the memory has become blurred. Raise your head, divert your eyes, and Ned can capture similar information in the eyes of other reporters:

curious. excitement. Excited. look forward to.

Outside the theater, I can’t wait; but inside the theater, they don’t care at all, because they have not been able to get out of the repertoire at this moment. Excited applause sent the most lofty admiration.

The applause lasted for two full minutes, and there was no tendency to abate. Then the stage lights slowly lit up, and Joe Alvin, who played Marius, and Charlotte Kennedy, who played Cosette, walked up hand in hand. The stage, the curtain call, the applause on the scene unexpectedly climbed to a height again.

After the two walked to the front, they bowed their knees to the audience, and then separated, one to the left and the other to the right, standing on both sides of the stage, and at the same time they began to applaud, welcoming their colleagues.

Afterwards, the actors went on stage in pairs and received the baptism of applause. The small stage was gradually filled with actors, and at the end, when Lanly Hall's figure appeared in sight, the whole audience rioted!

The hot applause once again raised a full three heights, any adjectives were eclipsed at this moment, Mark vigorously and vigorously agitated his hands, lifted his chin, and looked at Lan Li who appeared in sight, tears It started surging again, almost uncontrollable, the mood seemed to have completely collapsed, but it was so beautiful.

Just applauded. Tonight, Mark really surrendered. The actor in front of him, freed from the shackles of age and the shackles of the stage, truly showed the ultimate performance, sublimating an excellent play into a classic! Such an actor makes people excited.

Lan Li stepped onto the stage, and the applause was so violent that his eardrums began to tingle dull. He stepped forward and walked to the forefront of the stage under the welcome of his fellow actors. At this moment, the applause broke through to the extreme and reached the peak.

There is no end in sight of the crowded black sea. It is endless and surging, but everyone is expressing all their inner emotions with the action of applauding, as if the whole world is crawling before this stage, crawling under their feet. .

The emotions in the chest began to agitate, fascinated and uncontrollable, Lan Li just quietly, quietly admiring this sea of ​​applause, then raised his right hand, covering his chest, and his heart clearly came from under his palm. The beating rhythm and sound, powerful and powerful, reminded him:

This is true, and all of this is true.

At this moment, he owns the whole world.

In an instant, there was warmth in his eyes, but he was not too sad and fragile. Instead, he raised his mouth brilliantly, bowed respectfully and politely, and expressed his gratitude.

Actors and audiences are not in the relationship of subordination and affiliation. The actors dedicate their performances, while the audience enjoys the stage performances. The art that no one appreciates is only solitary and self-appreciating. Similarly, performances without a stage are just self-entertainment. At this moment, they are the same, feeling the same emotions, and feeling the same satisfaction.

Lan Li did not look for Elf and Arthur in the crowd. Because he knew that he didn't need their approval. It was the same in the past and it will be the same in the future.

After the curtain call was over, Lan Li turned around, greeted all the actor's companions, hooked up his shoulders, and collectively called the curtain call, expressing sincere gratitude for the audience’s appreciation and companionship. Then, the dark red curtain slowly fell down, announcing The performance officially ended.

However, the applause still did not stop, and the mighty applause showed no sign of stopping at all. Amidst waves of calls, the actors took the stage twice, sincerely, formally, and politely expressed their gratitude. , Thank them for being able to sit in the theater for six hours, thank them for being able to read the essence of the repertoire, and thank them for being able to walk through the history of "Les Miserables" together.

After three curtain calls, the applause finally began to decline; but, unimaginably, it still did not stop. This time, the whistles and shouts gradually began to stand out, eagerly and earnestly calling the actors for the fourth stage curtain call.

Just like the concert encores, the West End and Broadway curtain calls are also the same. The more the number, the more satisfied and enthusiastic the audience is, because this is the only way for them to express gratitude, and it is also the best way. Now in the West End of London, two curtain calls are generally standard, and three curtain calls are already rare-a small gap in the number of times, in real life, but the difference is very different in real life. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Tonight, after three curtain calls, the enthusiasm has not completely subsided. This is the charm of London's West End.

After earnestly calling, the main actors of "Les Miserables" took the stage for the fourth time, and the curtain call was once again. The applause that lasted for nearly ten minutes unexpectedly exploded with incredible energy once again. The entire Almeida Theater has been immersed in the sea of ​​applause, clearly showing the true feelings of every audience.

However, this is still not the end.

"Len Li, you must be on stage again." John Cordela stayed at Lan Li, sweating profusely.

After six hours of performances, especially high-quality and high-intensity performances, Lan Li has always been in control of the rhythm and level of the entire repertoire, and the energy and physical effort paid are incalculable. Now Lanli is even more tired than shooting three movies in a row. Even his fingers are almost unable to move, and his spirit is tightened to the extreme, a wave of fatigue is oncoming like a tide.

This is why the performance in the West End of London is difficult. Moreover, they are not just a game, they must continue every day. The extreme of hard work, the end of the test, will naturally gain more. This is also the fundamental reason for the solid basic skills of British actors-at least most British actors.

"John, four curtain calls are enough. We don't need to set a precedent." Lan Li didn't even have the strength to smile, but only slightly outlined the corners of his mouth.

"Len Li, they are calling you." Tom Holland said excitedly. After six hours of performance, it was still like a little flea and full of vitality. Of course, Enjolras did not have so many roles. "Did you hear it? They are calling you?" As he said, Tom began to sing, "Did you hear people singing, do you..."............ ..................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

This caused Lan Li to laugh dumbly, and even Charlotte, Joe, Dessie and others next to him started to laugh.

John spread his hands and said, "Is it right? You'll know when you listen." Then, John didn't say much, pulling Lan Li to the side of the stage, and a shout came from his ear, "Lan Li! Blue gift! Blue gift!"

The uniform calls were so firm, so enthusiastic, so surging, and so clear at the same time. This made Lan Li couldn't help being stunned.

The West End of London is demanding, and the audience's pickiness and strictness are well known. Only true top actors, those who are familiar and talented top actors, can enjoy such treatment on this stage. Now, Lan Li is enjoying it.

Looking back ~lightnovelpub.net~ Lan Li saw the excited colleagues, and John with a smug look. In the end, Lan Li himself was also dumbfounded and did not refuse any more, and took a firm step forward. On the stage, then, the curtain slowly opened——

With applause, it reached a climax again inexplicably, not as loud and majestic as it was at the beginning, but gradually and gradually climbed towards the Lan Li in the center of the stage.

Lan Li just stood on the spot, with no extra actions or words, but the applause just boiled and began to rise violently. It was beautiful and moving, and it lightly but heavily hit the softest part of her heart. , Moved and joy came up unexpectedly, and the tip of his nose couldn't help being sore.

This is his moment, this is his stage. This still belongs to his life.

Lan Li opened his arms, hugged his own applause, wandering in the heat and loudness, his vision became hazy, and a bright halo appeared. Then, he put his hands together and put them in front of him deeply. Bow down, for a long time, for a long time, did not stand up, and expressed gratitude in the most sincere and sincere posture.

Applause, endless!
