943 Enduring
The entire Almeda Theater was immersed in applause, so crazy that the entire theater began to shake, and the roof seemed to be shaking. The huge applause broke free from the shackles of the theater walls, broke through the encirclement of the rich night, and began to echo between the streets of the West End of London.
So stunning, so thrilling, so thrilling.
The reporters waiting at the door were stunned, the audience waiting by the street were stunned, and even the bystanders passing by the theater stopped, calmed down, listened with a slight ear, "Papa!" was just applause, simple and pure applause, but such a simple applause contained endless emotional information:
Excitement, excitement, longing, love, happiness, joy, happiness, and respect and respect.
The huge applause was like a tornado, with the Almeida Theater as the center, and it began to sweep. Because the applause was too surging and too surging, the reporters and audience outside the theater couldn't help but look at each other, shock and astonishment appeared in their eyes, but then a strong desire emerged.
They want to watch the show with their own eyes. Even if it is six hours, even if its tickets have been sold, even if tonight is just the premiere night; even if they have not seen the affirmation of the drama critics, at this moment, the thunderous applause is the best explanation and the best invitation.
Everyone knows clearly in their hearts that the Almeida Theater has achieved success, brilliant and magnificent success.
Ned Mullan's eyes were filled with incredible ideas. He could no longer remember when the last time he felt such a heat wave in the West End. Was it the West End version of "jump out of my world"? No, no, it should have been earlier, and the memory has become blurred. He raised his head and diverted his sight, and then Ned could capture similar information in the eyes of other journalists:
Curious, excited, excited, and expectant.
The theater was already overturned and could not wait; but the theater didn't care at all, because they were unable to get out of the play at this moment. They just applauded and clapped their hands enthusiastically, and gave the most noble admiration with the warmest, highest and most exciting applause.
The applause lasted for two minutes without any weakening. Then the stage lights slowly lit up. Joe Alvin, who played Marius and Charlotte Kennedy, who played Cosette, joined hands to the stage and ended. The applause at the scene actually climbed a height again.
After the two walked to the front, they bent their knees to pay tribute to the audience, then separated, one to the left and the other to the right, standing on both sides of the stage, and also began to applaud and welcome their colleagues to appear.
Then, the actors appeared in pairs, one-on-one, and received the baptism of applause. The small stage gradually became full of actors. At the end, when Renly Hall's figure appeared in sight, the whole audience rioted!
The hot applause raised three heights again, and any adjective was overshadowed at this moment. Mark tried hard and then again, lifted his chin, and looked at Ren Li who appeared in sight. Tears began to surge again, almost uncontrollable, and his emotions seemed to have completely collapsed, but it was so beautiful.
Just applauding. Tonight, Mark truly surrendered to it. The actor in front of him was free from the shackles of age and the shackles of the stage, truly presenting the ultimate of performance, sublimating an excellent play into a classic! Such an actor makes people feel excited.
Lan Li walked onto the stage, and the fanatical applause was so violent that his eardrums began to ache. He took a step forward and reached the forefront of the stage under the welcome of his colleagues and actors. At this moment, the applause broke through the extreme and reached its peak.
The sea of people is filled with darkness, and there is no end, boundless and surging, but everyone is expressing all the emotions in their hearts with the action of applauding, as if the whole world is crawling before this stage, crawling at their feet.
The emotions in his chest began to stir up, and he was fascinated and could not be suppressed. Lan Li just quietly admired the ocean of applause, then raised his right hand and covered his chest. The rhythm and sound of the heartbeat came clearly from the palm of his palm, which was powerful and powerful, reminding him:
This is true, it is all true.
At this moment, he owned the whole world.
After a moment of emotion, a warm feeling surged in my eyes, but it was not too sad or fragile. Instead, the corners of my mouth were raised brilliantly, bowed respectfully and politely, expressing my gratitude.
Actors and audiences are not subordinate or subordinate. The actors dedicate their performances, while the audience enjoys the performances on the stage. Art that no one appreciates is only self-admiration; similarly, performances without stage are only self-entertainment. At this moment, they are the same, feeling the same emotions and the same satisfaction.
Lanley's eyes did not look for the figures of Elve and Arthur in the crowd. Because he knew that he did not need their approval. This was the case before, and so was the future.
After the curtain call, Lan Li turned around, greeted all the actors, hooked up on her shoulders, and ended together. She expressed her sincere thanks for the audience's appreciation and company. Then, the deep red curtain slowly fell down, announcing the official end of the performance.
However, the applause still did not stop, and the huge applause showed no sign of stopping. Amidst waves of calls, the actors took the stage twice, sincerely, formally and politely expressing their gratitude, thanking them for being able to sit in the theater for six hours, thanking them for being able to understand the essence of the play, and thanking them for being able to walk through the history of "Les Miserables" together.
After three curtain calls, the applause finally gradually began to fall; but, incredibly, it still did not stop. This time, the whistle and shout gradually began to stand out, calling on the actors to finish the curtain call for the fourth time on stage.
Just like the Encore at the concert, the same goes for the curtain call of the West End and Broadway. The more times the audience is, the more satisfied and enthusiastic the audience is, because this is the only way for them to express gratitude and the best way. In the West End of London, the two curtain call is generally standard, and the three curtain call is rare. In real life, there are very different differences.
Tonight, after three curtain calls, the enthusiasm has not completely subsided. This is the charm of London's West End.
Under earnestly summoned, the main actors of "Les Miserables" took the stage for the fourth time and ended again. The applause that lasted for nearly ten minutes actually burst out with incredible energy. The entire Almeda Theater was immersed in the ocean of applause, clearly showing the true feelings of each audience member.
However, this is still not the end.
"Lanley, you have to go on stage again." John Codd stopped Lanley, who was sweating profusely.
After six hours of performances, especially high-quality and high-intensity performances, Lanli always controls the rhythm and level of the entire play, and the energy and physical strength he put in cannot be calculated. Now Lanli is even more tired than shooting three movies in a row. Even her fingers are almost unable to move. After her spirit is tense to the extreme, a stream of burnout comes towards her like a tide.
This is why the performance in the West End of London is difficult. Moreover, they are not just one show, they must continue every day. The ultimate of hard work and the end of the test will naturally gain more. This is also the fundamental reason why British actors have extremely solid basic skills, 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 just gently outlined the corners of her mouth.
"Lanley, they are summoning you." Tom Holland said with an excited look on his face. After six hours of performance, he was still as energetic as a flea. Of course, Enjola didn't have that many scenes. "Did you hear? They are summoning you?" As he said that, Tom began to sing, "Did you hear people singing, do you..."
This made Lan Li laugh and even Charlotte, Joe, Daisy and others next to him started to cheer.
John spread his hands and said, "Are you going to know if it's right?" Then, John didn't say anything, and pulled Renly to the side of the stage, and a shout came from his ear, "Lanly! Lanly! Lanly!"
Those neat calls were so firm, so enthusiastic, so surging, and so clear. This made Lan Li stunned.
The West End of London is harsh, and the audience's pickiness and strictness are well known. Only the true top actors, those familiar and talented top actors, can enjoy such treatment on this stage. Now, Renli is enjoying it.
Turning back, Lan Li saw the excited colleagues and actors, and John with a proud look on his face. Finally, Lan Li laughed silently and did not refuse. She took a firm step forward and walked onto the stage. Then, the curtain slowly opened.
The applause reached its climax once again incredibly. It was not as loud and majestic as it was at the beginning, but gradually, gradually climbing towards Lanli in the center of the stage.
Lan Li just stood there without any extra movements or words, but the applause began to rise in a boiling and surging manner, beautiful and moving, gently but hard hitting the softest part deep in her heart. The touch and joy hit unexpectedly, and the nose couldn't help but feel ache.
This is his moment, this is his stage. This is his life.
Lan Li opened her arms and hugged her applause, wandering in the warmth and loudness, her vision became hazy and a colorful halo. Then, she gathered her hands, placed them in front of her, bowed deeply, and for a long time, not standing up for a long time, expressing her gratitude in the most sincere and sincere posture.
