It's Renly Hall again.

Two months ago, Lanly won his first Oliver Award for his outstanding performance in the "Les Miserables" at the Almeida Theater.

A month ago, Lan Li's impressive performance in "Drunk Country Folk Songs" successfully won the best actor at the Cannes Film Festival.

Now that the 67th Tony Awards is about to kick off at the Radio City Music Hall in New York, can Renly continue to be strong?

Lan Li-Hall! Lan Li-Hall! Lan Li-Hall! It's Renly-Hall!

The cliché, endless, irritating, annoying, and there is no new idea again and again, for some audiences, it is bound to be bored, even from the heart, as if there is only one actor left in the whole world , I can see this name and that face in every corner and every moment, which is really annoying.

But for more audiences, they are witnessing an era and a period of history.

Strictly speaking, Lan Li is not the kind of beloved actor, at least it can’t be compared with Robert Downey Jr. and Johnny Depp, because the commercial films he starred in are really too few and too few, in the works of art. It is often difficult to win recognition from a wide range of audiences for his performances; but no one can deny the excellence and excellence of Lan Li, who has made his own world in a maverick manner.

In the history of the film industry, there are countless actors who have had their own moments and periods, but very few actors have left their own marks.

Popularity is just a bubble after all. Unless they can become sex/sense/symbols of the entire era like Rita-Hayworth or Marilyn Monroe, they will eventually be submerged in a long river of time. No longer exists.

The real measure of actors is still works, whether commercial or artistic, those classic works have settled down after the great waves and become an indelible part of the history of film development. Only then can they be called fame and history.

Now, Lan Li is walking on this path, step by step, steady and strong.

No one knows whether he can reach the peak and write miracles; but what is certain is that he is now continuing to move in the right direction. This is precisely the most beautiful part of history. Only after waiting for the time to settle down can people be able to move forward. I understand what I have experienced and what I have witnessed, and reminiscing about the years of being in it, the feeling is really hard to describe.

This year's Tony Award may be such a moment.

In early May, shortly after the end of the Oliver Awards, the Tony Awards officially announced this year's nomination list, and "Boots Demon" became the biggest winner in the nomination stage.

In 2005, a British film "The Demon Girl in Boots" was published based on real-life stories, which attracted a lot of attention in the UK, and then Broadway began the adaptation work, because the theme of the sword went slant, preparation work and market prospects were all It is not optimistic. It was not until October 2012 that they held an audition in Chicago, and step by step touring auditions in other cities in North America. After accumulating enough word-of-mouth, they officially returned to the Broadway stage in April.

Unexpectedly, once it was staged, it completely detonated the reputation of the critics, and it could be said that it turned out.

Among the nomination lists for the Tony Awards, "Boots Demon" has received 13 nominations, including best musical, best musical actor, best supporting actress in a musical, best musical director, All important awards such as the best musical screenplay, the scenery is infinite and unique.

In addition to this, two rearranged musicals are also in the limelight, "Matilda" and "Piping True Story", which received 12 and 10 nominations respectively.

The former is a rearrangement based on the most successful London West End musical of the same name in the past ten years. It also achieved great success on Broadway. After sweeping ten trophies above the Oliver Awards in 2010, it is now also ushered above the Tony Awards. A good opportunity for a strong climb to the top. The story is adapted from children's literature. A large number of underage child actors have been shown opportunities, and they also carry the future of drama.

The latter is an adaptation of the classic repertoire of Tony Award winners in 1972. It focuses on the process of real historical figures Prince Pepin and Charlemagne who are constantly seeking value in life. It won ten nominations and five trophies that year, and appeared in early 2013. After that, it created a frenzy in which the audience had to line up, and even reached the height of a hard-to-find ticket. This is another excellent work that reawakens the market boom in addition to "Les Miserables".

Of course, "Les Miserables" is definitely a player that should not be underestimated this year.

Best Rehearsal Musical, Best Actor in a Musical, Best Supporting Actress in a Musical, Best Supporting Actor in a Musical, Best Musical Director, Best Musical Script, Best Musical Sound Design, Best Music Drama stage design, best musical lighting design, best choreographer, etc.

Among them, the best supporting actress in a musical won two nominations. A total of eleven nominations are added together, and "Les Miserables" is also one of the biggest winners in the nomination stage, which further intensified the competition and direction of this year's awards.

It is no exaggeration to say that compared with the musical theater department, the theater department has fallen behind this year. Whether it is word-of-mouth or popularity, whether in the industry or outside the industry, all the focus is on the musical theater department, especially the rearrangement. The musical has reproduced the peak of the golden age--

Among the four nominations for Best Retro Musical, apart from "The Story of Piping", "Matilda" and "Les Miserables", the last "Cinderella of Rogers and Hammerstein" is also a big one. Hot works, won a full nine nominations.

After the nomination list came out, the top five with the most nominations were all taken in by musicals. Four of them were re-ranked musicals, and all of them won the best re-ranked musical nominations. Such a competition is described by the use of a bayonet to see red. There is no problem. This has also become one of the biggest highlights of this year's Tony Awards ceremony.

Of course, all the focus is not as good as the battle for the best actor in a musical. Even the members of the American Theatre Association have repeatedly stated in private that perhaps this is the most competitive event since the millennium.

In other words, Renli's luck is not good.

Over the Oliver Awards two months ago, despite the suspense, Blue Li’s overall performance was still very strong, and the chance of winning far exceeded that of several other competitors. In comparison, the award ceremony at that time Above all, the competition for the best drama actor is truly intensified.

But the Tony Award has just changed a position.

This year’s Tony Award for the best actor in a musical, the intensity of the battle is no less intense than that of the best rehearsal musical. The five nominees are equal in strength, and even the works of the nominees are full of weight and difficult to distinguish. Xuan Fu.

Billy-Porter and Stark Sanders of "Boots", Bertie-Carvel of "Matilda", "Rogers and Hammerstein" "Santino-Fontana" from "Cinderella", and Lanli-Hall from "Les Miserables".

All five actors came from this year’s most highly anticipated Best New/Rehearsal Musical Nomination. The competition was so fierce that Patina-Miller (Patina-Miller), the lead actor of "Piping True Story" ) Directly out of the nomination stage.

Among the five nominees, four are famous people who have been on Broadway for many years.

Billy Porter is forty-four years old this year. He has appeared in a series of classic works such as "Grease", "Dream Girl", "Angels in America" ​​and so on. In the past two decades, he can be seen on Broadway and Off Broadway. In the figure, this is a professional theater actor.

Although Stark Sanz is only thirty-five years old, his works such as "The End of the Journey", "Twelfth Night", and "American Idiot" have won numerous praises on Broadway and won a Tony Award for Outstanding Rising Star. In addition, he has also appeared in many movies and TV series, including the classic American drama "Under Six Chis", "Spoof House", "Plastic Surgery Room" and so on.

By the way, not long ago, he had just co-starred in "Drunk Country Folk Songs" with Lan Li. He played Troy Nelson, the soldier singer whom Albert Grossman looked at. He also played with Jim and Jane. The chorus sang "Five Hundred Miles".

Bertie Cavill is the original actor of "Matilda" in the West End of London. With this role, he won the Oliver Award for Best Actor in a Musical last year; in addition, he also starred in the movie version of "Les Miserables" last year. Among them, trying to slander and arrest Fantine's sergeant role.

Sandino-Fontana is a movie actor ~www.novelhall.com~Frozen" Hans is dubbed by him. In addition, "The Proud Wife" and "Desire/Sea Medical Heart" are both dubbed. He can be seen; of course, stage plays are still his strong point. Works such as "Dancing Out of My World", "Hamlet", and "Exhausted" have won numerous praises on Broadway.

In comparison, Lan Li is undoubtedly the one with the least seniority.

Interestingly, none of these five nominees have won the Tony Award for Best Musical or Drama Actor Award, and it will be the first time that any one of them wins.

Despite this, the competition between the five actors is still difficult to choose. Each actor has dedicated the most top performance in his own work, and has received unanimous praise on Broadway. In other words, this It is a matchup between the strong and the peak, and the judges must choose the "better" among the "best".

Undoubtedly, this is a difficult problem, an extremely difficult and extremely deadly problem.

Everyone knows that with only one Tony Award trophy, Renly will become EGOT. Moreover, this year's "Les Miserables" performance is so strong, it seems that the right time, the right place, and the people have perfectly fit together. For the layman, it is a natural choice to choose Lanli without knowing it; but for the insider, it is a cruel torment——

They may create a piece of history, or they may strangle a piece of history.

By the way, Lanly’s competitors did not make this choice easy. It is uncontroversial for any one of the five nominees to win in the end. So, this also means... it's all based on personal preference?

On the Tony Award, which has always respected professionalism and authority, has it come to the step of personal preference? This is not so good, right? 8) For more wonderful novels, welcome to visit everyone's reading academy
