In the afternoon, in the West End of London, there are cars coming and going, and the surging crowds near Oxford Street are sometimes divided, or the afternoon performances three times a week attract tourists from all over the world; but, after all, there is a lack of after night. The bizarre and dazzling neon, there is always an illusion that is not lively enough.

Today is the exception.

The entrance of the Almeida Theater was lively, vigorous, and blocked, literally—

The bustling reporters were scattered in different parts of the street, and the entire theater was tightly enclosed. There were more than 30 reporters at the entrance of the theater, and the gates of the theater could not hold so many reporters. Therefore, they lined up in an orderly manner. Two columns, extending all the way, welcome everyone who leaves the theater.

Such a grand event is really rare in the West End of London.

The premiere night of the theater is not the premiere ceremony of the movie. The reporters do not have priority admission, and the actors will not walk on the red carpet and stand at the entrance of the theater. The only object that can be interviewed is the audience; With the rise of the Internet, drama critics are also accustomed to writing their own comments in online columns or newspaper columns, and publish them directly without interviews.

Gradually, reporters began to interview the drama's premiere night into a routine: go to the theater, film the audience's entrance; go backstage, interview the impressions of the main creators; and then publish the comments of the drama critics. This is the end of it.

Such work is really too simple and too easy, and most of the work is done by interns. Before the opening, up to twenty reporters was a big deal; after the opening, it was all gone.

But today, this afternoon, all the reporters present are superimposed, so there are at least seventy, or even more; and they waited tirelessly near the theater for three hours without ever leaving. Such treatment, even Helen Mirren, who returned to London's West End after winning the golden statuette, was not able to feel it.

The bustling audience was scattered in all the open spaces on both sides of the street. Not only the Almeida Theater, but also several other nearby theaters were implicated. At least two hundred audience members occupied all the surrounding blocks. Come, come Often vehicles have to slow down to avoid rubbing against the crowd on the edge of the road shoulder.

Such a grand event is also extremely rare in the West End of London.

These audience members are all fanatical supporters who have not been able to buy tickets for the premiere night. More than half of the audience are still tirelessly holding up the signs in their hands, eager to pick up the leaks and get a premiere ticket; the remaining half The audience all came for Renly, looking forward to being able to surround Renly near the theater and get close contact.

Either the former or the latter, London's West End has not been seen for years. Not only because the number of avid art lovers in the West End is dwindling, but also because the big hits in the West End, which are being staged every day, miss today, there is always tomorrow - not to mention, the Almeida Theatre will be closed for the next three months. The same show will be staged.

Even on premiere night, the sight was jaw-dropping, and it really made people feel the appeal of "Renly Hall".

After returning to the UK, he disappeared completely and literally for ten weeks, completely immersed in the world of London's West End, conscientiously polishing his performances and preparing his roles, without any news and no interviews. , is not much different from disappearing.

After the Oscars, Renly declined all interviews, not even phone interviews, let alone face-to-face interviews.

As the youngest Oscar winner in film history, there are countless halos surrounding Renly, and there are countless media who tried to interview. According to rumors, Renly rejected more than 133 media interview invitations. , as for other forms of interviews, refusing invitations is even more uncountable.

Such a move is definitely a shame for the uncrowned king. If all the media join forces to block Renly, let alone the Oscars, even Steven Spielberg and Harvey Weinstein. The top bosses are equally shriveled.

However, the entire news circle was calm and did not react.

Take a look at the rejection lists from Renly, The New York Times, Time, The Times, Us Weekly, People Weekly, The Hollywood Reporter, Vanity Fair, The Washington Post, " The New Yorker" ... even these industry bigwigs are indifferent, how can other news outlets make their own decisions?

However, for ten weeks, there was literally no news or interviews. One second, Renly was the winner of the golden statuette who made history; the next second, Renly fell into the world and became an ordinary West End actor. Such a gap is so fierce that people can't adapt to it.

Until today.

Looking at the scene at the entrance of the Almeida Theater, the answer is clear at a glance. After returning to the UK, the popularity and support of the young actor has not weakened in the slightest, but has continued to slowly increase. His dedicated attitude and down-to-earth style have won Renly more recognition in the industry.

At this moment, with the grand occasion in front of us, this is still under the circumstance that the word-of-mouth of "Les Miserables" has not been released. If the word-of-mouth of this play is to explode, then...

The congested crowd, the boiling crowd, and the enthusiastic crowd all gathered at the entrance of the Almeida Theatre. Under the red glow of 6 o'clock in the evening, they outlined a different style of London's West End.

Suddenly, the floodgates seemed to open inside the theater, and a surge of

The boom is rushing out from slow to fast, from slow to fast.

Marc Lacante and his friends were not the first to leave the theater. They were mixed in the dense crowd. He was still behind. The water in front was blocked and the traffic was seriously affected, but they didn't care. He was enthusiastically sharing his thoughts and experiences, and the excitement could not be stopped.

When he walked out of the theater unhurriedly, the interview recorder next to him was still enthusiastically and excitedly brought up, "Excuse me, how do you feel about the performance this afternoon?"

"Unbelievable!" All the words in Mark's mind were turned into the simplest sentence, uttered, and then sighed again and again, "Unbelievable, truly incredible. I mean, this is definitely one of the most wonderful performances! Absolutely !"

"Wonderful! It's wonderful!" Katarina Koffler, who was standing next to him, couldn't wait to shout, "Yohoo! It's really worth the price! To be honest, three hours, I didn't see enough! Now I know, the whole show is only six hours long, I'm really disappointed, why can't it be twelve hours!" Katarina jumped excitedly, "Ah, today is not over yet, I already want to watch the first episode. twice."

"How is Renly's performance?" Before the reporter's question could fall, he got the answer, "Perfect!"

The audience in a small circle around shouted almost in unison. After that, everyone exchanged glances, and there was a collective roar of laughter, and Mark repeated eagerly, "Perfect! True perfection! God, when you're sitting in the theater, the only thought in your head is, surrender, Worship!"

"Those are two thoughts." Chuck Smith complained.

Mark didn't care, laughing cheerfully, "Two thoughts then. You can really feel the power of acting. God, Renly really reminded me why I love movies so much and why I do Love Renly! Jesus Christ, he is amazing!"

Before reporters could ask, Kristin Schutler added, "You know what? Renly has spent twelve hours a day rehearsing on stage for the past ten weeks, and then another six hours a day. In the practice room. I can't really imagine what it means to be an actor, but I'm pretty sure that I'm twenty-two years old and I can't be so focused and engaged."

"All the sweat and hard work can be felt on the stage today." Mark nodded again and again, "You know, his performance is really a kind of enjoyment. As long as he stands on the stage, even if it's just the background, you I can't take my eyes off him, he really was born to perform."

The compliments slammed down incessantly, but the reporter standing beside him had become accustomed to it, so he couldn't help but chuckled, "Jesus Christ, your words have filled this play with countless attractions." The young man in front of him Not the only one, to be precise, all the audiences interviewed just now have a 100% favorable rating.

100 percent, what exactly does that mean? This is a six-hour experimental repertoire, and it is a well-known classic repertoire, but it can receive 100% praise, which is really unbelievable!

"You should!" Everyone shouted in unison again, and then everyone burst into laughter. Mark nodded again and again, "You should buy tickets as soon as possible, and then go to the theater to watch the show in person. Trust me, stand outside the theater for the interview. , which means you miss the whole world."

After speaking, without waiting for the reporter to continue to respond, Mark and the others rushed forward one after another. No one cared about those they knew or didn't know. They just reminisced about the two unanimous voices just now, and then scrambled to express themselves. the opinion of.

Such a scene is just the tip of the iceberg at the entrance of the Almeida Theater. The interview samples collected by almost every reporter are consistent, praise, praise, praise!

"Alistair, Alistair!" The critics who fell behind began to appear one after another, and the reporters blocked the front again. "Judging from the performance in the first half, how is the quality of the play?" Did Renly's performance meet expectations?" "Is the level of the repertoire worth looking forward to"...

Facing the recording pen surging in front of them, Alistair and Nick smiled at each other, without answering or responding. I won't express my opinion; however, the smile between the eyebrows seems to reveal the secret.

The reporters looked at each other, with similar shock in their eyes: Is it really going to explode?
