2058 West End London

Today is the second time, please recommend and subscribe!

British actors have always had a unique flavor that is different from European actors. They are neither like American actors who are acting as stars, nor like European actors who are 9-to-5 professions. Instead, they regard acting as art, an art that requires hard work and lifelong pursuit. They are neither bullish and stinking, nor pretend to be deep and detached from the public. Of course, this only refers to most of them.

Most famous actors in the UK, including Ireland, have one thing in common, that is, their elegant and noble temperament. Whether they are noble or desperate, they are truly elegant, which is also beyond the reach of actors in other countries and regions...

In fact, the reason why British actors are special is largely due to the entire British actor environment. Someone once joked that the only way to become an actor in the UK is: professionalism, musicals or dramas, supporting roles, love or lust or lunatic or perverted, becoming famous, and awarding a royal medal.

Although this is a joke, it is indeed true. Most British actors are from professional schools, and rarely are similar to the example of overnight fame in the United States. In the UK, to become famous, a multi-level vocational education from the Royal Academy of Performance to the Community Performance Academy is the first step, and then they enter the stage play for training, so as to seek opportunities for supporting roles in TV series and movies. This is the fixed routine in the early stage.

Taking the British drama "Crazy City" as an example, although this series is not famous, everyone who has watched it will be amazed. Steve Pembrodon and Reescher Smith each play four roles respectively. It is difficult for the audience to see that these eight characters are actually played by two people, and both of them are screenwriters. This kind of actor who can write, direct and act is born based on the solid actor training system in the UK...

There are actually not many British actors who make a name for themselves by their appearance, including Hugh Grant, Orlando Bloom, Daniel Craig and others; and solid acting skills and excellent stage performance are the common points of most actors. Bill Nye, who once performed well in "True Love First" and "Pirates of the Caribbean", is a typical example. His appearance is not handsome and angry, but he has a unique temperament. From the rock gang leader of "Piracy Radio" to the editor-in-chief of the newspaper "Mind Cloud of the Political Affairs", from the lone killer of "Wild Target" to the retired spy of "Page 8", every appearance is eye-catching.

Bill Ney was studying at the age of fifteen. He wanted to be a writer and went to a magazine to be an errand. At the age of seventeen, he studied his idol Hemingway and went to Paris to write novels. As a result, he became begging on the street. After returning to London, he attended Guildford Performance Academy. He was also polished in stage plays and TV screens for many years. The older he was, the more popular it became.

If most British actors do not go abroad to shoot their works and do not star in international productions, many people cannot name them at all. For example, the actors of the roles such as Seth and Sirius in the "Harry Potter" series are not well-known, but their solid foundation can make people applaud. Timothyspo, who plays Seth, is not very good-looking, but his performance in the 2005 film "The Last Hangman" is respectful.

Judy Denge, Emma Thompson, Helen Mirren, Maggie Smith, Vanessa Reid Grave and other veteran actors all live until they are old. The beautiful skin of youth has never been the best weapon in their hands. Maggie Smith plays the old baron in "Downton Abbey". Every time he appears, he talks strangely, with contemptuous eyes and slightly pursed lips. An old antique aristocrat appears vividly, which is the real drama that is all over his body.

British movies and actors are above the average level, with few bad movies and few bad actors, which is indeed admirable.

After Hollywood discovered that British actors were of good quality and low price, she drew a lot of money. Now, the British co-production works are basically provided with technical support. The UK provides actors, the most typical of which are the "Harry Potter" series and the "007 series". Although British actors work for Hollywood, they are not fighting with love in Hollywood's glitz-like world. Even at the current hot level, Keira Knightley still leaves time every year to return to the UK to perform dramas for one month at a time, and spend two or three hours on stage every night, while each heart is only a few hundred pounds, and the investment is small. But for British actors, this is their duty.

So, when people learned that Evan Bell always had only British nationality, they suddenly realized his maverickness.

Looking at Evan Bell's past experience, ten years of Broadway career can definitely be said to be a professional professional. He never takes box office as the first criterion for his works. On the contrary, he is very picky about his works and roles. The most important thing is that even if he has a reputation, popularity, and pay, it can make Evan Bell forget his duty as an actor. Fundamentally speaking, Evan Bell is a British actor. His actions are still unemployed compared to most of the British local actors who do their own things and are not worth making a fuss.

Due to the British actor system, it is difficult for actors who are not professional-born, and the importance of stage plays to actors is even comparable to that of movies. An actor who has achieved brilliant results in the field of film but has no contribution to stage plays. It works in the United States, but it doesn't work in the UK, a slightly old-fashioned country. Even an actor like Orlando Bloom who is famous all over the world with his eyebrows is also professional and has been immersed in the field of stage plays for four years.

So for British actors, the importance of London's West End is naturally self-evident.

London's West End is one of the two musical centers in the world. It is paralleled by Broadway and occupies an unignorable position in the long history of stage plays. The Broadway stage plays are characterized by strong comedy colors. Although there are also repertoires that reflect real life, they are greatly influenced by comedy, have strong entertainment, strong musical sense, and have diverse melody and style changes in jazz music and tap dance often appear in stage plays.

The musicals in the West End of London attach importance to the status of music in the play. They integrate classical, modern, popular and popular music and create on this basis, thus making the music in the play transcend the limitations of time and space and elegance. It does not adhere to bel canto, but adopts the singing method that is most popular among the audience. Although rock and jazz music are also used in musicals in the West End of London, it is mostly influenced by opera, especially by luxurious light opera, because most musicals in the West End of London have a song style. In the stage style, ballet is the top priority of the West End of London. Dance is involved as an organic part of the plot, changing from foil and embellishment to duli, adding the weight of ballet.

To give a brief example, "Chicago" is a typical style on Broadway, while "Phantom of the Opera" is a representative work of London's West End.

The West End of London is a large area, the location of the UK, and it is also a prosperous commercial, cultural and upper strata gathering area. In the West End of London, more than a dozen theaters are dotted between Hyde Park, Regent Park and Royal Botanical Garden, but it has a bit more artistic conception than the coming and going of Broadway.

Evan Bell walked along Leicester Square to the area where the theaters gathered in London. Today he made a special trip to watch the "Phantom of the Opera". As an audience member. In the UK, the best way to find actors, the Academy of Acting and the West End of London are, and compared to schools, it is obvious that the stage play is a direct and convenient place. Here, you can directly feel the greatest charm from opera.

Although the Phantom of the Opera has ended its performance on Broadway, in London's West End, one of the four most profitable operas in history, still performs on the stage from time to time. It should be noted that since the Phantom of the Opera, the Phantom of the Opera, has sold tickets in theaters around the world, more than US$2.7 billion, which is a capability that no movie has.

Compared to the magnificent theaters on Broadway, the theaters on the West End of London are not very big, and they can only accommodate less than 400 people in total. This close-up approach reminds Evan Bell of the scenes of experimental theaters on Broadway outside and outside. This test for actors is also strict, because the audience will watch your performance up close with a magnifying glass.

There are men, women, young and old who watch the performance, and the age group is very wide. Before the show, the atmosphere in the theater was not as solemn as listening to concerts and watching operas. There were even many young people gathered to whisper and whisper, and young audiences greeted each other. There were waiters selling musical discs and instructions in the corridor at the entrance, which gave people a sense of relaxation before watching. This kind of British humor in its bones is different from Broadway.

Behind the backrest of the theater sofa, there is a small telescope. Put a few pennies into the mechanism where the telescope is clamped, and then pull it out and put it back. This is also convenient for the audience sitting in the back row to take in all the details of the actors' performance on the stage.

Musicals in the West End of London have always attached great importance to technological effects. The fantastic underground lake scene created by sound, light and electricity in the "Phantom of Opera" is even similar to the technique of film montage, which brings the audience to an illusory and beautiful world, making the terrifying world no longer fearful, but desirable. The power of lighting and stage settings are fully mobilized to create a stunning artistic effect, and the stage is also very effective in the underground lake scene. Together with technological means, it creates a bizarre and illusory world, actively mobilizing the viewer's inner emotions while appreciating.

When the opera was in the middle, the crystal lamp of the audience fell down together with the development of the plot, and finally stopped mysteriously above the audience's heads, but the exclamation of the audience still made the audience's audience burst into pieces.
