Before the 917 takes the stage

Go from left to right, and then from right to left. Lan Li's steps were not hurried or hurried, just pacing back and forth at two points and one line, slowly and slowly adjusting his breathing, and at the same time, his hands and legs repeated some simple stretching movements, and his head slowly circled clockwise, gradually allowing his muscles to begin to relax.

There was a blank space in my mind, not the slightest thought, and no superfluous emotions. All the information about the performance, about the lines, about the movement has been deeply imprinted in the body's memory, and in just ten weeks of rehearsals and rehearsals, over and over again, day after day, like piling, little by little etched in the muscles. At most, you can arrange four training sessions a day, three individual trainings, and one cooperative training.

The stage is about to be staged, and the staff in charge of the on-site announcement has announced the five-minute countdown. Then, the last thing you need at this moment is to reawaken your memory, and it is easy to mess up the rhythm and square inch when you are cramming, and now it is more important to let the whole person relax and completely empty the brain.

"God, God, God. Ezra Miller buried her cheeks in her hands and wailed in frustration, "I can't remember, and now I can't remember the content of the first act at all." After howling for a moment, without waiting for any response, Ezra raised her head and looked at Lan Li with a depressed expression, "Hey, partner, aren't you going to help me?

Ezra, who was born in 1992, is the only American in the crew of this new version of "Les Miserables". However, his profession is unquestionable, his mother is a modern dancer, and he starred in stage plays at the age of six, and he also spent a long time polishing on Broadway.

This time, Ezra plays the role of Savoy in the play, who is none other than Sheriff Jean Argent's nemesis.

Considering Lan Li's age and repertoire, John Cord boldly used young actors, looking forward to showing the growth and change of each character in the six-hour epic masterpiece, further outlining the great work of the changing times. The passage of time and the change of times are undoubtedly the focus of the whole play.

Lan Li didn't answer immediately, let out a long breath, and then said calmly, "Then our crew will be completely finished, and the three-month performance will end directly after the premiere." ”

"Hey!Lan Li!" "Don't do this!" "The show hasn't started yet, and it's going to bring bad luck to saying that!" ...... The other actors in the dressing room protested one after another, and the atmosphere suddenly became boiling.

As the initiator, Lan Li was unmoved, and after waiting for the protest to calm down a little, he added again, "The three-minute countdown is coming, and your attention is still not focused, are you sure it's okay? Looking at Lan Li, who was full of calmness, everyone was speechless, and Lan Li continued to mend the knife, "Look at Tom." Are you sure he's the youngest of our crew?"

Tom Holland, who was named after him, was still calm at this time, as if he didn't realize that he had become the center of attention. The young actor, born in 1996, is only 16 years old this year, and entered the acting industry with the "Jump Out of My World" West End musical.

Although he is young, in the crew of "Les Miserables", his stage experience can be ranked in the top three, far more sophisticated than Lan Li. This time, he will play Anjola. A role that doesn't have many scenes but shines.

Anjola doesn't appear in Act 1 or Act 2, but despite this, Tom is fully engaged in preparing for the show, keeping pace with all the cast on the set. This dedication is indeed impressive.

"Clams?" Tom lifted his immature face with a bewildered expression. Anjola's stage costume is a knight's costume with red and gold, which reflects his vigor and vitality at this time.

Charlotte Kennedy blinked, then chuckled, "Don't joke anymore, I think my partner is going to explode." ”

"What? no! I'm fine! No! what? I'm fine! I'm ready!" Joe Alwyn stood up without waiting for the roll call, his face flushed, his words incoherent, his curly blond hair supplied and compliant, his tall figure, his handsome countenance, needless to say, he was a Marius.

Joe Alwyn, twenty-one, who attends the Central School of Speech and Drama, a public university for the arts in London, has yet to graduate. Before coming to audition, Joe had starred in several experimental plays on the outskirts of London's West End and didn't have much acting experience, but he still won John Cod's approval with his outstanding appearance.

In the repertoire, Marius and Cosette are a couple, and the one who plays Cosette is Charlotte, a little beauty born in 1992, born in London's premier School of Dramatic Art in Mountain View, with an authentic professional background, even more professional than Lan Li - Lan Li is an actor major, and Charlotte is a real drama major.

Seeing Joe's panicked appearance, Charlotte took the initiative to step forward, stood on tiptoe, and tried to reach Joe's shoulder, "Man, man, Joe needs a little space, and now there is not enough time, at least we can leave a little space." ”

The appearance of protecting the cub immediately sparked resentment, and Carrese Jack and Daisy Ridley got together and shouted in a strange voice, "Oh, Cosette is distressed!

At this shout, Jo's cheeks flushed, and he lowered his head shyly—he was not good at talking and socializing, and he was so nervous that the situation was even worse, and Charlotte raised her right fist and gritted her teeth in pursuit, and in an instant the chicken and dog jumped up.

Caris and Daisy are two little girls, the same age as Charlotte.

Despite her youth, Caris has been in the West End for more than a year, starring in two short-lived productions, while Daisy is a semi-professional at Triling Park School, specializing in musical theatre and acting, and graduated at the age of eighteen, always looking for opportunities.

Carris will play Epenny, while Daisy will play Fantine. Both roles have been competed by at least a hundred or more actors, and there is absolutely no fluke in the two people's standouts.

The commotion that had just calmed down for less than thirty seconds began to boil again, but Lan Li's footsteps were not affected in any way, he just raised his head, looked at the other two actors in the corner, and cast a look, "Aren't you going to take care of it?"

As a result, the two actors looked away, pretending not to see, and the action was so obvious that the intention to evade responsibility was not disguised, but rather made the atmosphere more joyful.

Domhnall-Gleeson, 29, has performed on Broadway and in London's West End, and has been nominated for a Tony Award, and is currently best known for his role as Ron's older brother Bill Weasley in the Harry Potter series.

Michelle-Dockery just turned 30 this year. Before becoming popular in 2010 with the role of Miss Downton in "Downton Abbey", she was a veteran actor in London's West End, and was nominated for an Olivier Award, and also appeared on the stage of the National Centre for the Performing Arts.

In the all-20-year-old rookie cast, Domhnall and Michelle are the only two special cases - Elf did not mention the names of these two actors in the conversation just now. They will play the role of the innkeeper De Nadière, the husband and wife, two insatiable characters, but at the same time they are alive and well in the whole repertoire.

Seeing the appearance of Domnar and Michelle, Lan Li had to raise his voice and shout, "Quiet, guys, all be quiet!" Everyone paused, looked at each other, and then listened to Lan Li say, "Otherwise, Ezra will forget the lines." Words of consequence ......"

"Stop, stop!" Everyone hurriedly stopped Lan Li's words, and raised their hands in panic one by one, "Let's shut up, we're quiet!"

Lan Li spread out her hands and gestured, as if to say, "You are not quiet. With one movement, all the words disappeared immediately, and everyone showed the appearance of a good baby, smiling.

Tom, who was sitting quietly next to him, let out a chuckle, his immature and green face fully bloomed, and then noticed everyone's warning gaze, Tom firmly covered his mouth with his hands to avoid making a sound, but the smile in his eyes still lingered.

At this moment, the door of the standby room was pushed open again, "Three minutes countdown." ”

"Lan Li, aren't you going to say something?" Ezra said, no, and everyone else looked at him in agreement.

Although Lan Li is not the oldest in the crew, nor is he the most experienced, in the past time, Lan Li has deservedly become the core of the entire crew with his professional attitude and absolute strength.

Lan Li shrugged, "We're ready. Now all you need to do is walk on stage and present it. That's all!" The words were understated but with great confidence, and both Ezra and Joe straightened their backs, "This play lasted six hours, and believe me, the tension was at the end, and it gradually became numb. ”

This ridicule made everyone laugh.

Then, without any further pause, Uzunuki left the waiting room and began to prepare for the appearance of the first act.

Standing on the side platform, Lan Li was ready to appear on the stage, but he felt a burning gaze, and when he looked back, it was Tom, Lan Li cast a puzzled look, Tom said, "Lan Li, aren't you nervous?"

Lan Li smiled dumbly, "Nervous, but more anticipation than nervousness." ”

Let go of the halo of the Oscar statuette, let go of the achievements made in the past three years, truly return to the original intention, stand on this stage, and polish your acting skills carefully and slowly. The past 10 weeks have been the happiest and most enjoyable for him, and now, it's time to perform!
