Renly returns to London again.

This is the second time in just four months. To be more precise, it was only five weeks before the departure of "Edge of Tomorrow"; however, this time, there was no movement in the Hall's family.

After experiencing the last tit-for-tat confrontation, a mess was left. For a long time, the Hall family became people’s after-dinner talks; after experiencing the vigorous "hype door", the Hall family completely closed all of them. In his speech, he pretended that "Ren Li-Hall" never existed, and clearly expressed their position. After experiencing the unexpected ending of the Oscars ceremony, Lan Li became the British actor who won the Golden Man for the second year in a row, Hall. The home is quiet, moving towards silence.

Strong winds and waves, ups and downs, and a big show. For the aristocracy, this is simply a nightmare, "only those vulgar nouveau riche will enjoy the effect of this spotlight." Naturally, when Renly returned to London again, George and Elizabeth both pretended that this did not happen, and lived in the same city, as if they had never existed before.

Arthur Hall knew it naturally. Arthur, who lives by contacts and news, doesn't need to deliberately inquire to know the situation of Lan Li; but this time he also honestly guarded himself and closed his mouth tightly. In Bayswater’s villa, “blue ceremony” is a completely taboo term.

What's more, after entering the West End of London, Lan Li also kept a low profile and devoted himself to the rehearsal of his works without any news.

Until today.

With a flash of inspiration and a thought, Philip pulled out the pamphlet and opened the list of actors. Sure enough, I saw the familiar name, "Len Li-Hall" in the first most conspicuous position.

A small smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and Philip looked at the name seriously and carefully, a trace of relief and happiness flashed through his eyes. Renly finally succeeded. According to his own ideas, he realized his dream, and dignifiedly as an actor, once again returned to the stage of London's West End.

Involuntarily, he rubbed the name with his fingertips, but the ordinary typeface seemed to have magical powers. His eyes brightened slightly, and at this moment, the manual fell out of the handbook. An off-white card was placed on the table.

Philip picked up the card, and the vigorous, unrestrained handwritten font came into view, and he knew it was Lan Li's handwriting.

"Dear Mr. Philip Demba,

On May 18th, "Les Miserables" will premiere at the Almeida Theater. We sincerely invite you to attend.

Yours, Renly Sebastian Hall. "

This is an invitation letter specifically addressed to Philip. Different from the printed form of inviting George and Elizabeth, this invitation letter is in handwritten form, and it is an invitation issued in Ren Li's personal capacity. The signature is also marked with the full name and the Christian name, and the treatment and friendship are completely different.

However, this friendship is meaningless to George and Elizabeth. They just think "this is a waste of time"; even if they know the difference, they won't mind. Therefore, Lan Li generously put the invitation letter in the same envelope and regarded Philip as a member of the Hall family.

Renly knows this, and Philip knows too. However, Philip could still feel the careful thought of Lan Li's mischief, and some young people were angry.

After confirming the source of the invitation letter, Philip once again carefully read the entire letter. I noticed a small detail, "The premiere" is not a "rehearsal" or an "audit", but the premiere of real swords and guns.

After centuries of development, the West End of London has undergone earth-shaking changes. In this area, many changes have been made with the times, trying to keep up with the pace of the times; but in essence, this is still a It retains countless traditional theater circles and follows the glorious traditions of the golden age of theater in the 1920s and 1930s.

In fact, auditions and rehearsals are not the most traditional part, the premiere is.

The so-called premiere is the first performance of a drama officially on the West End or Broadway stage in London. Tickets are sold publicly and accepted by the public to judge and judge. It is similar to the premiere of a movie, but it is more of an upper class, top person, and senior. A star-studded occasion for artists.

It is not so much a premiere, as it is an Oscars ceremony, which is similar to the opening ceremony of Eaton-Domer’s personal brand.

The premiere is a celebrity party; at the same time, it is also a watershed between victory and defeat.

However, with the progress of the times, people have more and more recreational activities, and the status of drama is declining. So, starting in the 1960s, there were auditions; starting in the 1970s, there were rehearsals.

The so-called audition is the literal meaning. Before the official performance, there is an tentative and experimental performance. The audience is basically all senior drama hobbyists, professional drama critics, producers and so on.

After the audition is over, everyone including the director, screenwriter, and actor team will humbly accept their opinions, and then make changes to the work without sleep. The actors resume rehearsals as soon as possible and adapt to the content.

The most common situation is this. After the audition is over, the revisions are made all night long, and the next morning, the new content is rehearsed; the matinee performance in the afternoon will still retain the original content; but the night performance of the same night must be followed New content appeared.

The so-called rehearsal is slightly different. The cost of a play performed in a theatre in London or New York is too high, and not every crew can afford it. Therefore, before the "first performance" in London or New York, the crew will perform four to six weeks in other cities. In the preview, I hope to get more positive feedback and comments, and then pull the box office for the official debut.

But the biggest problem with the rehearsal is that a brand-new work has to be staged in London and New York after all, to accept the cruel test. Many important musicals are destroyed by verbal criticism during the rehearsal. After arriving in London and New York , And ushered in a rout that fell apart.

Especially with the advent of the Internet era, fans can share the smallest details and smallest mistakes of each rehearsal on the Internet, and truly maximize the spirit of picking the bones in the egg.

The audition is a link of self-improvement and self-investigation, while the rehearsal is more inclined to the link of marketing and commercial promotion. But whether it is an audition or a rehearsal, this is crucial in 2012 when the drama is generally down. It's the same thing as collecting feedback information through an internal preview before a brand new movie is released.

However, Philip carefully recalled that in the past two or three weeks, he has never heard of the audition or preview of "Les Miserables". At least, he did not read relevant comments in The Times, The Guardian, the Financial Times, or The Independent.

Before his thoughts surged, there was a noise in the direction of the restaurant, and Philip immediately received the signal: George should have arrived at the restaurant.

George works for Barclays Bank and is responsible for the management of trust funds. Every morning, his schedule starts with reading the "Financial Times", and after breakfast, he heads to the office to work. The same itinerary, the same habit, persisted for more than 20 years, never changed.

Philip tidyed up the letters, repacked the invitation, then put the newspapers and letters on the tray, and entered the restaurant without a hassle. At a glance, he saw George sitting at the table and the coffee on his right. Exudes a curling fragrance.

With fast footsteps but no sound, Philip came to George, first handed the "Financial Times", then fanned other newspapers, and finally placed the letters that needed the first time in front of him. After finishing all the actions, Philip took a half step back, then turned and left silently.

Turning around, Philip saw Elizabeth coming oncoming, "Madam." Philip said hello politely.

Elizabeth nodded gracefully, and sat down at the other end of the dining table, "Philip, help me arrange the car, I need to go to Windsor later, um...departure in forty-five minutes."

After Philip nodded, he hurriedly left the restaurant, but before he could move away, he saw Elf coming downstairs, "Miss Elf. Is it morning shift today?"

"Yes, I drank a little brandy last night, and now I feel a little uncomfortable in my throat. I need to add some hot milk to the coffee for breakfast." Elf nodded gracefully and decently. After the explanation, he moved towards the restaurant. Take a step.

Philip stepped out of the passage, and after watching Elf leave, he walked towards the kitchen. This morning, it was really lively~www.novelhall.com~ According to the usual practice, George had breakfast in the dining room, while Elizabeth was in her own room-the noble couple went to bed in separate rooms; Elf often There is a late shift, and breakfast will be delayed by one to two hours. As for Arthur, he spends most of his time in London and never comes back.

But today, George, Elizabeth, and Elf all gathered together and appeared at the same time. Recalling the invitation letter in front of George, Philip realized that breakfast time should be extremely lively. However, the most important thing for Philip now is to order the kitchen to make adjustments based on today's unexpected situation.

In the restaurant, after the simple greeting, the three people each sit in their own place. The distance between each person is at least six to eight meters. If you talk, you must speak loudly. This is detrimental to etiquette. , So they simply remained silent, without any conversation, nor any eye contact.

I briefly flipped through the "Financial Times" and learned about the news. In-depth reading needs to be carried out after going to the office. George temporarily put the newspaper aside, picked up the letter in front of him, and scanned all the letters in general. I noticed the azure blue envelope, and the action paused for a while. After hesitating, my finger pulled out the contents inside.
