The Greatest Showman

Remember in one second [End of the God Station] Mobile phone user input address: m.xinwanben.com

London in January is icy and hazy, the whole world seems to be enveloped in a gray-blue, a faint ink dizzy between the towering buildings and the quiet Thames, no rain, no snow , but the large groups of water vapor are scattered in the air, it seems that layers of water vapor seep out from the bones, damp and cold, making people unable to lift their spirits.

Even a local native like Eddie-redmayne, who was born and raised in London, complained and complained constantly about the weather, with cold hands and feet and numbness in his limbs, so that he had to stay in place. Jumping a few times, moving your hands and feet to get the blood flowing again, and avoiding the stiffness of a mummy, would be a complete disaster.

The simple warm-up exercise made the heart beat violently, and the calm emotions suddenly became tense, and I couldn't help but feel a little dry; thoughts about the next audition began to emerge in my mind, and they surged up and down. It didn't help, the heartbeat began to hit the eardrum violently, and even the temples were aching. Tension, uncontrollably tense, almost suffocating.

This was not his first audition, but it was the most important audition of his acting career.

The Redmayne family is a typical British emerging elite. Richard-redmayne was chairman of the British Empire's Bureau of Mineral Resources, and then he was awarded an honorary knighthood to the upper classes. Thanks to Richard's success, the entire family rose. His son A banker, and his daughter-in-law runs a human resources company, continuing the elite stance.

Eddie is the third generation after the rise of the Redmayne family. Richard is his grandfather. The boys in the family were able to attend Eton College and truly entered the upper circle. However, Redmayne is not an aristocrat, there is no shackles of family culture, so Eddie's father and mother divorced, and both remarried; so Eddie's brothers and sisters entered different universities, Oxford and Cambridge have ... these... This situation is absolutely impossible in aristocratic families. But times have changed, and so has high society.

In a way, it also changed Eddie's life.

Eddie has been very interested in acting since he was a child. His parents did not stop his interest. Instead, they encouraged him to pursue his dreams and make different attempts. They also gave him more support within their ability.

At the age of twelve, Eddie took to the West End stage, playing a little trick in the rearranged version of Oliver Twist, his first official performance.

It is worth mentioning that the director of "Oliver Twist" was the later famous Sam Mendes (sam-mendes).

This cameo appearance allowed Eddie to determine his goal. After entering Eton College, he frequently participated in the school's drama performances, and also toured with the National Youth Musical Theatre; after graduation, he entered Trinity College, Cambridge University, studied art history, and then officially started his own acting career.

After becoming an adult, he first starred in dramas such as "Twelve Nights", constantly polishing himself on different stages, and then starred in many TV series to further adapt to the life in front of the camera; in 2006, he also landed in Hollywood for the first time, Participated in the star-studded "The Secret Service", in which he played Angelina Jolie's son. After that, his acting career officially opened.

First with Julianne Moore in 'The Labyrinth', then in 'The Glorious Years' starring Cate Blanchett, then Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman in 'Another Wave' Lynn's Girl" and this year also played the first-person "I" in "My Week with Monroe" starring Michelle Williams.

Unfortunately, the response to these works was not as expected. As an actor, he has been in the industry for ten years in a blink of an eye. He is 29 years old this year, but he is still waiting for his blockbuster opportunity. Now, he finally waited, the turning point of his career, the stage to show his skills - the movie version of "Les Miserables" produced by Hollywood!

The play is adapted from the original play, with faithful stage play effect. It is supervised by the original play producer, directed by a local British director, and is mainly produced by the West End and Broadway of London. The important thing is that strength is more important than fame...

Every selection condition seems to be calling Eddie, it seems to be tailor-made for Eddie, and it seems to prove that this is the opportunity Eddie has always dreamed of!

Marius, this is Eddie's goal, youth, background, culture, identity, etc., is almost tailor-made for Eddie.

When he was at Eton College, Eddie once played Marius, which was highly praised; but he was still relatively immature back then, and his acting skills were not really polished. Now, after years of precipitation, Eddie believes that he can give horses Lu Si's more colors really show the essence of the character!

After three rounds of selection, after breaking through the siege, he finally won the opportunity to face the interview mirror. Today, and today, producer Cameron McIntosh and director Tom Hooper will both appear in person at the audition, further confirming Eddie's suspicions that they place extra value on an actor's stage ability.

Because every drama lover knows that the tension and charm of stage performances are real only by seeing and experiencing them with their own eyes.

So this is it, this is the change

It's time to change destiny!

Even though I have gone through countless auditions, even if I have been on the stage in the West End of London, and even if I have repeatedly polished my acting skills, at this moment, the nervousness is inevitably surging. It is because of caring that it is urgent. Take a deep breath, take a deep breath again, compulsively let the brain gradually cool down, the excitement and anxiety settle down little by little, and gradually restore calm.

"Eddie Redmayne?" A call came from the entrance of the stage. The staff took the sign-in sheet, looked around, and called again, "Eddie Redmayne?"

"Yes!" Eddie then reacted and answered loudly, the whole person jumped up directly, and his footsteps landed on the wooden floor, making a creaking sound. This is the case in the old theatres in London, and every corner is full of squeaks. With the imprint of time. Eddie didn't care about this, and hurried forward to meet him.

The staff member glanced at the information in his hand, "Eddie Redmayne, the audition role is Marius?"

"Yes." Eddie nodded in confirmation.

"Marius's audition is 'empty-chair-at-empty-tables'." Since this is a face-to-face audition after three rounds of selection, the crew has a lot to do with every actor. They already have a clear position, they clearly know what they are looking for, so the audition requirements are more clear, "After a while on the stage, there is no need to rush into the performance, walking, standing, lighting, everything is done. After that, we will officially start.”

Then it is a complete formal performance.

Eddie understood immediately and nodded again to show his understanding.

"Before entering the stage, you stand at the entrance of the side stage and announce your name and the role you are auditioning for. After a short pause for two seconds, there is a signal on the stage, and you can go on stage." The staff explained all the requirements. After that, "Fine, is there anything I need to ask?"

"A complete aria?" Eddie asked experienced.

"The Empty Chair by the Empty Table", the entire aria lasts about three minutes. This is the most difficult aria for Marius, and it is also the most widely circulated aria, full of emotion and excitement.

Whether or not to sing a full aria, the difference is this: During a movie audition, the casting director or producer may interrupt the performance, believing that they have had enough information that the actor does not need to continue the performance, and if the actor is stubborn Perseverance wisely will deduct points; but in the audition of a drama, the casting director must take into account the reaction of the audience, and sometimes deliberately makes noise to disrupt the rhythm of the actors' performance, and then see if the actors can continue to perform. .

"Les Miserables" is a film version, but adapted from a play. So, how to define these details, Eddie needs to know.

The staff looked up at Eddie with a smile, "A complete aria, in the way of a stage play." It seems that an actor in front of him made such a careless mistake, which led to a flaw in the audition. Now that Eddie can find out in time, that's the difference in experience, "Good luck, then!"

Eddie let out a long sigh and came to the edge of the side table, and began to do a simple warm-up exercise. Emotional singing came from the stage, and it was "empty chairs next to an empty table", which also meant that the actors who were auditioning on the stage were also here for Marius. However, at this time Eddie could not be distracted to pay attention to the opponent's state, he had to concentrate on himself.

With such a difficult aria, any distraction or omission may lead to irreversible consequences.

His breathing gradually became steady and long. Eddie closed his eyes and got ready. After the previous actor finished his performance, he took two steps forward, and the voice of the staff came from the stage, "Get down. one."

Eddie took a deep breath and secretly cheered himself up, it was his moment! This is his moment to shine! Afterwards, he raised his voice and said, "Eddie Redmayne, audition for Marius." After introducing himself concisely and clearly, he calmed down, the whole person entered the state of performance, and after seeing the signal on the other side of the stage, Stepped onto the stage confidently.

The moment he stepped onto the stage, he was no longer Eddie Redmayne, but Marius.

His footsteps were confident and calm, like a newborn morning sun, full of vigor, and finally stopped in the middle of the stage, adjusted his breathing unhurriedly, his eyes fell politely to the left, middle, and right, and then bowed slightly. Signaling, he turned around and sat down on the chair next to him, his body gradually relaxed and entered the state.

His time is coming!

But at this moment, a surprised voice came from the audience, "Renly?"
