"Your Excellency. Your Excellency! **** Christ, Lord Ramly, finally, God, finally!"

The joyous shouts broke through the warm indoor air, and amidst the turbulent crowds, they found Lanli, who was trapped in an encircled circle. Everyone's eyes shifted involuntarily, and then you could see Count Richard de Ville. ——

Or to describe it more accurately, Earl of Oxford.

This earl is well-known in the West End circle. He has never concealed his fanaticism and perseverance for drama. His professional vision and critical taste have also been recognized by countless industry veterans, although he has never written a drama review. , But with each new show debut, his opinions and judgments can often become one of the industry's vanes.

When "Les Miserables" was staged at the Almeida Theatre, Earl Richard did not hide his love and embrace, and even broke the shackles of upper society, through George Hall’s matchmaking bridge, completely ignoring the "Hall House". Internal disputes", just to get acquainted with Lan Li.

Every year for the Oliver Prize, Earl Richard is bound to be there in person. He will always have a place in the VIP box.

At this moment, Richard completely ignored the crowd around Lan Li, and completely ignored the etiquette of social occasions. He simply and rudely interrupted the hot conversation, cut into the conversation unreasonably, and came enthusiastically and cordially. When he arrived in front of Lan Li, the excitement was like a star-chaser girl, and the whole body was filled with excitement and excitement.

This is the Earl of Oxford.

A unique style/liu/character among the aristocracy and upper-class society. He goes his own way, rebellious, and unruly. Even if he is over fifty, he is still like a urchin who grew up. In the gossip, he has his own. A piece of heaven and earth.

Originally, the group around the colleagues around Lan Li, one after another tacitly gave way to the space, because every industry practitioner has heard of Richard's name, they know Richard, and they also appreciate Richard—— A truly pure audience like Richard is the motivation for their constant efforts and persistence.

After politely exchanging a glance with Lan Li, the colleagues turned around and left one after another.

Richard didn't seem to notice his "rude" behavior at all. Instead, he sighed and looked at Lan Li again and again, expressing his views endlessly, "Please, tell me some good news, this first anniversary performance, You will return to the stage, right? I mean, Daniel is still too crafty. He is an excellent actor, but there is still a little spirituality missing in the performance, and the lack of hierarchy completely weakens John. The original intention of directing the six-hour version."

There was no courtesy, no greetings, no greetings. As soon as we met, Richard couldn't wait to cut into the subject and expressed his wishes.

Richard is now discussing the lead starring in the second edition of "Les Miserables".

Lan Li laughed blankly, "Thank you, thank you very much." He humbled and politely expressed his gratitude, "But unfortunately, I will not return to this first anniversary performance stage. To be precise, I am not going to be ready in a short time. Unfolding any performance, you know, the previous performances really consumed too much energy, I need to rest."

Richard immediately showed a look of disappointment, "I regret, it's really a pity." After shaking his head again and again, he converged his expression and spread his hands gently, "But I understand. John's version of Ran-Ah. Letting is not an easy role, because of this, your performance is so rare."

The details of the control and etiquette, freely retractable, revealing Richard's aristocratic background, after all, are different from ordinary people.

"So, do you have any plans next? For example, returning to the West End stage." Richard excitedly initiated a new topic, "It's not nonsense by the media, I mean, Shakespeare, I think , You can definitely become an excellent Shakespearean actor and inherit the mantle of Sir Oliver."

What Richard said was that not long ago, the official website of US Weekly launched a questionnaire survey to provide in-depth feedback on the recovery of Broadway and the West Side in the past year. The entire questionnaire covered 30 questions, including " Which actor is most hoped to be on the stage of the theater", "If anyone returns to the theater, the audience is willing to buy tickets to enter the theater", "Which repertoire is most popular?"

There is also a part about Lanli, which mainly revolves around "Les Miserables", but the last question is:

"If Lan Li once again stood on the stage of the drama, which role would the audience most want to see in which drama?"

In the questionnaire, the ghost of the "Phantom of the Opera" successfully won the first prize, receiving more than 38% of the votes.

But in the eyes of industry insiders, such a vote is meaningless.

The main reason is that ordinary audiences have limited understanding of dramas, and the repertoires they are familiar with have obvious limitations, such as "Les Miserables", "Phantom of the Opera", "Cat", "Miss Saigon" and other four classic musicals. Naturally, it became the first choice; in addition, familiar repertoires such as "Out of My World", "Turandot", "Madame Butterfly", "West Side Story", and "The Lion King" have also become priority targets.

In fact, leaving aside the copyright issue, the adaptation of these plays is absolutely extremely difficult. It is conceivable to look at "Les Miserables"; and the original play performed by Lan Lilly loses its meaning, because These repertoires have now lost their originality and gradually become a gathering place for tourists.

Therefore, such a vote is too limited and too simple.

According to industry insiders represented by Richard, Shakespeare is the eternal classic.

It's like James McAvoy starred in "Macbeth" and Mark Rislang starred in "Twelfth Night". Every year, Shakespeare's repertoire is re-arranged and performed. The more classic works, the more difficult it is to adapt, which is a severe challenge for any director and actor.

It is precisely because of this that Lan Li's interpretation is more and more worth looking forward to.

Without waiting for Renly's response, Richard couldn't bear to express his own opinions, "Hamlet, do you think the challenge is too low? But I personally think that it is bound to be very exciting for you to perform Hamlet! Last year, John Cod only arranged a brand new version of Hamlet. I don’t know if there is any creativity and inspiration to arrange it again."

In the face of such enthusiastic Richard, Rao Lanli was a little bit unbearable, "Maybe." He said with a smile, "but not now." The simple words were firm, there was no room for maneuver, and the bright eyes were even more impressive. Shining with a perseverance that is not negotiable.

The forgetful Richard also felt this strong will at the same time, and the words rolled in his throat for a moment, his expression and eyes dimmed.

Just when everyone thought that Richard would be furious, as an earl, Richard is the one who holds the right to speak on any occasion, let alone confrontation, flattery is also common-the original George Huo This is how you are; now, even if Richard leaves in his sleeves and angrily leaves, no one must dare to stop him.

However, Richard lowered his head and shook his head repeatedly, "Sorry. It's really a pity. Although I can understand your situation and situation, but...As a true lover of drama, I still hope you can do it as soon as possible. Back on the West End stage. This is the real actor. Those Hollywood movies are just kid games."

Sincerely expressed his grief. It is not so much contempt of Hollywood as it is a fanatical support of the West End.

With this sincerity, Lan Li couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Richard raised the pipe in his right hand and took two sips. He seemed to be venting his emotions. His face was full of loneliness and disappointment, like a little boy who has missed his beloved toy. Finally, he let out a long breath. , Raised his eyes again and looked at Lan Li expectantly, "I hope that your vacation will not be too long. This is a loss for the audience."

"My honor." The pure and straightforward affection made Lan Li flattered.

For Lan Li, it seems that it has become a normal state now, and praises from all over the world continue to flow, but even so, every time you really feel the joy and embrace from the audience, you can still feel the butterfly in the chest. The briskness of flying wings~www.novelhall.com~ He will not take all of this for granted, only efforts can be rewarded; only hard work can be rewarded.

Richard gave a polite response with a light jaw, as if saying, "It is also my honor to be able to express my inner appreciation."

Then, Richard’s eyes lit up slightly, and he seemed to think of an important thing, "By the way, to commemorate the first anniversary of the Almeida Theater version of "Les Miserables", this weekend, I hosted a small Party. Now that you are back in London, it would be my rudeness if you don’t send out the invitation letter."

Sure enough, it's a fool.

"If I have the opportunity, I will definitely attend." Lan Li said politely.

Richard showed a meaningful smile, seeming to see through Lanly’s "official answer", but he did not reveal it in the words, but further added, "This is a private party, and I only invite real drama hobbies. By the way, I also invited Cameron Mackintosh and several outstanding actors from the Queen's Theatre version."

There is a message both inside and outside: he is sincere.

Lan Li opened his mouth slightly, but before he had time to answer, Richard continued, "Are you still living in Notting Hill?" Lan Li stayed in Matthew Dunlop's private house every time, which was early in London. It's no secret. After getting a positive reply, Richard nodded in agreement, "I will send the invitation letter."

Then, without waiting for Renly's answer, Richard turned and left.

Come and go in a hurry, the initiative is always in the hands of Richard, of course, Lan Li did not fall behind. But it can still be felt that Richard is indeed an outlier among the nobles.
