The Richard Rogers Theater at this moment is so different, in a daze, it seems to have come to the Chinese Theater in Los Angeles, but when you think about it, it is unique.

The reason is very simple. This premiere night did not happen at night, but in the afternoon. Because "Les Miserables" has reached six hours, just like the West End, it will be divided into the first half and the second half. Therefore, at 1:30 in the afternoon, the red carpet for the premiere night begins.

The scorching sun at noon penetrated the steel-reinforced forest above the city of New York, falling sparsely, making people unable to open their eyes brightly, and the surging heat wave almost burned the skin. At this time, it should be lying on the beach. Enjoy sunbathing, or hide indoors and blow on the air conditioner, instead of standing on a large flame and receiving the sun.

Such a premiere night, in a unique and alternative way, left its mark on Broadway history.

Standing on the red carpet, Paul Walker only felt that he was in a steamer, and his whole body was emitting steam; moreover, in order to comply with the etiquette of the theater, in addition to the standard outfit of a suit and shirt, he also matched a tie. Breathing, now the entire back is wet with sweat.

"Paul, are you okay? You now seem to be in a sauna in Finland." After the meeting, the reporter's first question was so beautiful and refined, and the joyful atmosphere at the scene was evident. However, before Paul could answer, the reporter exclaimed again, "Ryan, you...just came out of the swimming pool?"

Paul turned his head abruptly, and then saw Ryan sweating profusely, and his sweaty appearance was even more embarrassing than him, which really made people laugh.

Ryan stuck out his tongue and gasped loudly, "It’s okay, I’m okay. After entering the theater, everything is okay. In order to watch a wonderful drama, it is absolutely worth it. Before I set off, I would I'm fully prepared and can't wait to enjoy this play."

"When the show was performed in London before, because of the schedule conflict, I was never able to go to the scene to watch it in person. This is a pity. Now I can finally make up for it, I am very happy." Ryan said with a smile on his face, and then said sharply. Turn, "Lan Li, you know now, what a rare friend I am? For the sake of my efforts to promote, how about it? Can you reserve two boxes for me next week?"

After a little stunned, all the reporters burst into laughter.

The friendship between Paul, Ryan and Ranley is indeed enviable, so some reporters took the opportunity to ask, "Paul, you are specifically to express your support for Ranley, so you attended today’s premiere with Ryan. Performance night?"

Paul froze for a moment. In fact, he was planning to bring his daughter Mei Duo-Ryan to the premiere night, but Mei Duo refused.

First, because the night of the premiere was so much-anticipated, Mei Duo didn’t want to be exposed to the media’s spotlight, and preferred to choose a time later and watch it alone in a low-key manner. Secondly, it was because Mei Duo had already met with him in London before. Paul has watched the play together, and this time, she wants to watch it with friends.

In the end, Paul, who looked sad, could only choose to go alone.

However, Lanly made a suggestion that Paul can go with Ryan, because his relationship with Eva Mendes is still low-key and will be here alone today. So the two of them got together.

Now, faced with such a sudden question from the reporter, Paul was stunned. He didn't answer for a while, or Ryan was more witty and interjected, "Please don’t get our friendship wrong. When the ice bucket challenged the roll call, I would just I have broken up with Lan Li. As for Paul, he is a lost lamb and I am trying to lead him back on the right path."

A simple humorous joke, all the reporters laughed collectively.

But the interview is over here, because the superstars who have been here one after another are endless and overwhelming.

Unexpectedly, the number of actor's colleagues was far below expectations. Jennifer Lawrence did not appear, Alexander Skarsgard did not appear, Jack Gyllenhaal did not appear, and Scarlett Johansson did not appear. Hollywood stars who made a lot of noise during the Ice Bucket Challenge are extremely low-key today.

Later, Andrew Garfield said, "queue up."

"Emma originally wanted to come with me to watch the premiere, but unfortunately, the VIP box has no place. This is not controllable by Renly, nor is it controllable by the theater. I can only say that today's The performance seats are really sought-after." Andrew said with a smile on his face, "I am lucky. In order to watch this show, I had already said hello a month ago, and Lanly reserved a ticket for me. "

As Andrew said, a ticket for the premiere night has become a show off capital for senior figures in all walks of life in the United States. Just like the Oscar night hosted by Vanity Fair, the party itself is not important, but the qualifications for attendance are not important. But it is a kind of industry recognition.

Now, everyone is pursuing a VIP box seat for the premiere night of "Les Miserables", trying to prove that they are keeping up with the trend and having high authority.

Just look at the list of Hollywood attendees:

Steven Spielberg, Barry Meyer, Meryl Streep, Scott Rudding, Frank Marshall, Emma Thompson, Jack Nicholson, Woody Ai Lun and Harvey Weinstein.

In this list, add Paul Walker, Ryan Gosling and Andrew Garfield. In this comparison, the meaning of Andrew's words became clear immediately.

Everyone is eager to attend the premiere night, but not everyone can win the opportunity; after missing the first wave of craze, they can only choose the second and third day, and then come to watch, avoiding falling behind the times The trend.

A ticket is hard to find, not only for ordinary audiences, but also for Hollywood's top elites. For a while, Luoyang paper is expensive.

Nevertheless, the red carpet on the night of the premiere is still star-studded, and it has truly reached a celebrity gathering. Even compared to the Oscar red carpet, it is not inferior. Outside Hollywood, top giants from all walks of life have arrived. on site.

Facebook’s CEO Mark Zuckerberg is one of them, as well as Apple’s current CEO Tim Cook, the presence of these two Silicon Valley giants, plus Michael, a senior executive at Sequoia Ventures. -Moritz (Michael-Moritz) also appeared in the guest list tonight, undoubtedly becoming the best representative of Silicon Valley.

John-Mara, the owner of the New York Giants of the NFL Professional League-he is Rooney Mara's uncle, the top American basketball star Kobe-Bryant, the world's number one The supermodel Gisele Bundchen, the new-generation celebrity Olivia-Palermo (Olivia-Palermo) in the Upper East Side of New York, their appearance is just the beginning, representing the concerns of different industries.

In addition to this, there are more faces that are unfamiliar to entertainment reporters, and they can't even name their names. They can only learn from social reporters, financial reporters, political/government reporters and other officials, from real estate tycoons to Wall Street upstarts, from emerging painters to new favorites in the fashion industry, from piano masters to famous European conductors, from Russian ballet leaders to London theater leaders...

Behind those unfamiliar faces, they represented a lot of weight, which made people feel the madness and enthusiasm of the premiere night in all aspects.

At that time, the premiere night in the West End of London was heavy and long, and the guest list revealed professionalism and classicism. Whether it is a noble with a deep heritage or an actor with a reputation, all aspects are closely related to the drama; now, the premiere of Broadway The night seems a lot thinner, more like the scene of a variety show, rather than the stage of drama.

However, this is the difference between the United States and the United Kingdom, and also the difference between the West Side and Broadway. Maybe people don't like it; but all of this really exists and is happening.

More importantly, the "smelly copper" in the eyes of the artist has bloomed in the North American continent. Broadway's heritage is not as deep as that of the West End, but the inheritance of Broadway is more long-term than the West End. At least from the perspective of profitability and survival, Broadway has more opportunities ~www.novelhall.com~ Because of this, successful repertoires in the West End, in the final analysis, will still go to Broadway.

The same goes for "Les Miserables".

Regardless of these differences, no one can deny that the premiere night at the Richard Rogers Theater was a huge success. The top celebrities in the VIP box detonated the topic, and the 100% attendance ignited the enthusiasm of ordinary audiences. In addition, there are tireless and persevering enthusiastic fans waiting at the entrance of the theater to cheer.

"The New York Post" stated, "This is a party bigger than the'Edge of Tomorrow'. It is like the most important stage for the upper class since 2012. Everyone is dressed up and presents their own Appearance and posture, trying to prove one's artistic accomplishment and rich heritage once again."

This is not a negative mockery, but a positive affirmation. The essence of the premiere night is outlined in a few words: the current Lanly Hall has broken away from the ranks of ordinary actors and is entering the next level and class. Especially the family background of hereditary aristocrats has become a halo above the head, making people eager for it.

However, whether in London or New York, the success or failure of a play depends on the hands of the critics, not the celebrities.

Among the numerous praises gained in London, the expectations are gradually rising. Now that we are on Broadway, the "Les Miserables" also needs to undergo severe tests. In the eyes of critical and harsh, sharp and difficult drama critics, those celebrities are not Bonus points, but minus points, this does not seem to be a good start.

When the premiere night was over, all eyes were focused on. The word-of-mouth of a drama has attracted so much attention and discussion like never before. So, "Les Miserables" has won the love of the British. What about the Americans?
