The Greatest Showman

As soon as "Peony Pavilion" came out, it took four hours to sing until everyone was old.

In the contemporary era of more and more diverse entertainment means, and now that fast food culture is becoming more and more common, patience has gradually disappeared, not to mention four hours, even three hours of repertoire are now welcoming more and more challenge.

Now, John is preparing to produce a six-hour play, but also to challenge the ongoing classic play "Les Miserables"? It's incredible just at the proposal stage; what's more, John has already entered the preparatory stage, negotiating the theater, discussing the investment, discussing the copyright, and discussing the creation matters...

In the context of the increasingly fast-paced life, it is awe-inspiring.

"So, what's next?" Renly didn't teach John, and John didn't need his coaching either.

John raised his head sharply and temporarily pulled himself out of his thoughts, "Next?" He pondered for a while, "Next, we need to find enough good actors, create a good enough lineup, and start rehearsing. Of course, if these actors can have a certain amount of popularity and appeal, that would be great. But, personally, I prefer to use a new team, the West End of London is already mellow, and there can be some use here. fresh blood."

Like movies, theatre faces the challenge of balancing the relationship between business and art, as well as the dilemma of choosing a famous actor or a rookie actor. In the final analysis, every art form, after the advent of the Internet age, is facing similar problems and challenges.

John's eyes fell on Renly, and he didn't speak, the two exchanged glances quietly. Then, Renly saw the smile at the corner of John's mouth, and it raised little by little, "How about it, are you willing to join this project?" This is the second time John has asked—because the first time, Lan Li did not answer directly.

"I know, the audition tape was sent, and that's a signal," John continued, "but I mean, after hearing such a crazy plan, are you willing to take on such a challenge? Marius Or maybe Enjolras is too low a challenge for you, obviously Jean Valjean is the best choice, I know that and you know that too."

"However, if all goes well, you may have to stay away from Hollywood for at least half a year, at most one year." John said with a smile, with a playful light in his eyes, as if he was watching a good show.

Almost every year or every other year, British actors return to the West End stage to polish themselves. However, after all, they are movie actors, not professional drama actors, and they cannot stay in the same play for many years; even professional drama actors cannot star in the same play for five or ten years.

The "Les Miserables" that is being staged in the West End of London will have a new cast every year or two, for a maximum of three years. The same goes for other shows.

What John said just now means that if Renly is determined to play the new version of Jean Valjean, then the performance season should be at least half a year to a year, and it must not run away halfway; Before, the rehearsal time was as short as three months, and as long as half a year or eight months.

So, before and after, Renly must say goodbye to Hollywood for half a year, or even longer.

"Ha, I'm not a freshman this year, the intimidation is useless." Renly chuckled, "For me, there's no problem; the decision is yours, always. Quite the contrary. , I'm already eager to try and can't wait, but are you sure you're mentally prepared?"

Jean Valjean, who restored the original work, made his debut at the age of 30; until his death, the curtain came to an end. The entire time span spanned more than three decades, experienced youth, middle age and old age, and witnessed the changes and turmoil of history, condensed into a six-hour performance, which is a serious challenge for any actor.

Now, this burden is about to be handed over to a young actor who is only twenty-two years old?

Objectively speaking, the challenge is even more severe than the movie version. As Renly said, the decision was always in John's hands, and as for himself, he was ready to challenge the impossible.

"I thought you'd miss Hollywood." John's eyes widened and he scrutinized Renly. "It's like the latest news page." The website was widely circulated and lively. "Back in London's West End, the attention has plummeted."

Renly shrugged and said lightly, "How can you be sure that I'm not missing the West End now?"

John was turned against the generals, but he didn't care. He gently retracted his chin, expressing his understanding, "To be honest, I can't think of a more suitable candidate."

Possessing trustworthy strength, young enough stamina, and devotion to focus; at the same time, he has the appeal to attract the market, create topics, and set off the focus, all of which make Renly a priority.

More importantly, John tends to use "newcomers," at least newcomers with relatively little stage experience, because of their dynamism and constant hunger for the stage. At the same time, it can also activate the backwater in the West End of London, allowing more newcomers to win opportunities.

"Doesn't it matter even if the role is cut?" John asked again.

Renly raised his eyebrows slightly, "Trust me,

With a six-hour repertoire, I'm also looking forward to more actors sharing the responsibilities. "

With such ridicule, John laughed, "Very good! Then, I will have a meeting with them when I go back today." John finally relaxed and leaned back on the back of his chair, showing a complacent look, "Actually, I am also considering whether to use a relatively young actor for the role of Javert, not as young as you, but at least under the age of 30." On the one hand, it is to give more space to young actors, on the other hand Also to play against Renly, "Javert's age span is similar to that of Jean Valjean. If we choose young actors, we will have some advantages in makeup."

It is relatively simple for young people to put on makeup to become old people, makeup and wigs are enough, but it takes a lot of effort for the elderly to put on makeup to become young people.

Renly picked up his teacup, "I think, I should finish 'Edge of Tomorrow' as soon as possible." With this thoughtless sentence, John cast his eyes in confusion, Renly chuckled lightly, "It's okay. I'm just saying, prepare for the follow-up audition. After you go back and talk to them, they will definitely want to see my follow-up audition, and I'm ready."

"Edge of Tomorrow" is a fully youthful cast, and some media even call it another "Twilight" or "The Hunger Games". Warner Bros. has not yet decided whether it is going to be smooth sailing and attracting young people. group; or change the propaganda strategy, distinguish "Edge of Tomorrow" from teenage novels, and tap a wider market.

Now, John's version of "Les Miserables" has a young lineup again? This is not good news for the media. Maybe in the preparatory stage, it will bear the anger of the audience and drama critics——

When the West End produced a younger version of "Hamlet", it was met with verbal criticism. Although Hamlet is a young man, whether it is the original work or the classic adaptation, Hamlet is positioned as a young prince in his thirties who is entering a mature stage from youth. The so-called young version means that young people aged 18 and 19 play Hamlet and other characters. The public opinion generally believes that they cannot interpret the thickness and depth of Shakespeare's original works.

Even Hamlet is like this, not to mention Jean Valjean?

Renly knew exactly what kind of challenge he faced. Today’s conversation is just an intention. Even if John nods in agreement, the other creators need to consider and reconsider. Apart from Eppenne, Javert, and Enjolras, if they ask Renly to really interpret Jean Valjean's bridge, this is also logical.

"Of course it couldn't be better!" John nodded in agreement without being polite. Afterwards, the two stayed where they were, slowly finished tasting the afternoon tea, and then left one after another. John rushed back, eager to join the discussion that followed.

John didn't mention the movie version of "Les Miserables," and neither did Renly.

Because they all know that nothing has been determined now, and there is no point in discussing at all. Even if things are certain, the choice is not a problem: in the end, the better work, the better actor, wins. For John, the film version is not his competition, not even with Cameron McIntosh; his competition is the script, the investment, his creative partners, the quality of his project .

Here, Renly is actively auditioning for his next work, and at the same time, he is still in full swing to complete the shooting of "Edge of Tomorrow". Then they entered the high/tide period, and they ushered in the grand occasion and excitement of the 69th Golden Globe Awards Ceremony.

Last year, Ricky Gervais was on fire at the Golden Globes and offended many actors. After the awards ceremony, major media condemned Ricky for losing his sense; but this year, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association After much deliberation, the hosting baton was handed over to Ricky again.

On the one hand, it is because the Golden Globes need hit points and gimmicks, even if it offends some actors; on the other hand, it reflects the plight of Hollywood's lack of award ceremony hosts. There are not many hosts who can advance and retreat properly. This can also be regarded as the lack of quality and ideological fault behind the fast food culture.

In any case, the Golden Globe Awards ceremony led by Ricky has once again kicked off grandly!
