In London at the end of May, you can't feel the breath of summer at all, and the coldness of the end of spring still retains the bitterness of winter. After night fell, the temperature dropped significantly. Standing on the street in the West End, the wind was tingling and biting, and the heat could even be seen when speaking, which made people dumbfounded.

However, all of this still cannot stop the enthusiasm of the fans. The alley directly opposite the back door of the theater is filled with crowds, crowded, crowded, and crowded. The crowded scene looks like the entrance of an underground bar. , And the party tonight must be very, very exciting, so even in the early hours of the morning, even if it is shivering, there are still so many people gathered at the door.

The only difference is that this is not a bar, but the Almeida Theater.

There is such a tradition in the West End of London. Loyal fans and enthusiastic spectators, after the performance is over, they can go to the back door of the stage to wait—this is an open area where anyone can wait here; the actors who have finished their performance, when they leave through the back door, if there is Time will stop here, signing autographs, taking photos with fans, and even having brief exchanges.

This is known as the "backdoor signature on the stage", which is regarded as an unofficial fixed event in the West End of London, and it is also an opportunity for actors and audiences to communicate outside the stage.

Almost all actors are no exception. As long as you have the heart and wait patiently, you can wait 100% for your favorite actor.

However, the performance tasks in the West End of London are too onerous. If the actors are in poor condition or in poor health, they may leave in a hurry; moreover, after the performance is over, the actors have to deal with a lot of things, ranging from 30 minutes to long. For two hours, this is normal, and not every viewer can have such patience.

Therefore, the audience can wait 100% for the actors they like, but they may not be able to wait for the "signature session."

In the past two weeks, the back door of the Almeida Theater has become the most popular place, because young actors such as Tom Holland, Charlotte Kennedy, Joe Alvin have never been treated like this before. Hundred percent will stop and talk to the audience for a short time. There are really a lot of fan benefits; even more because of Lan Li-Hall.

Since the premiere night of "Les Miserables", after each performance, Renly has never been absent from the backstage autograph event. I will definitely show up every night, and I will definitely stop to sign, take pictures, talk, etc., and the affinity will burst. According to the rumors, the cold, proud and arrogant Lan Li showed another side of an actor.

For stage actors, communicating with the audience is actually part of the job. Because the stage is an art form for face-to-face communication between the actors and the audience, the performance is incomplete without feedback from the audience. This is why people always say that "signing at the back door of the stage" is the most formal tradition among unofficial events.

However, in the era of fast food culture and national entertainment, fewer and fewer people pay attention to stage plays, and there are also fewer and fewer outstanding actors. This tradition is gradually dying.

At night in the West End, in the back alleys of the theaters, there are often only single-digit audiences waiting. It is extremely difficult to get double. Furthermore, the actors are reluctant to stay and leave after signing in a hurry, and even some actors just leave. Not even willing to sign, the performance is getting bigger and bigger.

However, Lan Li showed his professionalism and dedication. In the past two weeks, I have never been absent or perfunctory.

Rumor has it that on the Monday after the premiere weekend, there were only three spectators waiting for Lan Li in the back alley. Despite this, Lan Li still patiently stopped, not only finished signing and taking pictures, but also bought coffee for them to warm up, stood on the side of the road and talked for nearly twenty minutes, and shared his views on the performance. go away.

This experience was later posted on Facebook, sparking countless discussions. As a direct result, more and more viewers were waiting at the back door. More than eighty spectators were waiting at the door later than today, and the whole alley was about to burst.

Rebecca Burke is one of them.

This is not the first time Rebecca has been waiting for Renly at the back door. Since the day of the pre-sale of tickets for the first night, she and Renly have had a close contact, and Rebecca has fallen in love with this deeply. The big boy, sunny and bright, focused and dedicated, she can even smell the dry woody smell of him, which is fascinating.

Among the three audience members that Monday, Rebecca was one of them.

Day after day, every day, Rebecca insisted on waiting for Lanli at the back door. Each time she waited was different, but deep down, the uncontrollable excitement and excitement were the same. Everything is so beautiful, yet so real.

Tonight, the cold wind gusted and the temperature dropped sharply, and the thin coat seemed to be unable to stop the invasion of the cold; it was almost midnight after the performance, but Rebecca went to the back door without hesitation and joined the crowd. In, waiting for the appearance of Lan Li, the uneasy expectation, like countless butterflies flapping its wings in the lower abdomen, makes people forget about it.

After waiting for two hours, I finally saw the Lan Li who appeared. In an instant, everything else became unimportant, and the whole world suddenly became brighter.

Standing in the turbulent wave of the crowd, Rebecca felt that she was about to suffocate. Quietly, Rebecca watched Lan Li silently, capturing the faint tiredness between the eyebrows, and the scarlet blood in the depths of the eyes, and the hoarse and lazy voice was even in the night. Sketch a touch of fragility.

"Len Li, the performance tonight is so wonderful" "Master, I really like you so much" "Is it still your on stage tomorrow?" "Oh my God, this is really happening again" "I can be with you Take a photo?"...

The whispering voice rushed forward and backward, and the burning enthusiasm seemed to stop even the cold of midnight. The whole alley began to gurgle and boil. There were more than 80 spectators, and it seemed that there were not many numbers, but at this time in a narrow space. But like a stormy sea, it hit violently and fiercely, and the scene was losing control little by little.

Expectation, enthusiasm, touch, excitement, happiness, beauty, excitement. Countless emotions are surging, like an erupting volcano, wave after wave, uninterrupted, in the freezing cold early morning, it outlines a thrilling bright color, which makes people deeply feel the super popularity of Lan Li.

But Rebecca only felt distressed at this time, "Quiet! Everyone is quiet!" Rebecca shouted loudly. Amidst the noisy sound, her voice was almost buried and could not be heard at all, but she did not. Give up, clenched his fists, exhausted all his strength, roared from the depths of the dantian, "Quiet!"

This time, it really fell silent, everyone looked at Rebecca in shock and astonishment, not understanding what had happened. Including blue gift.

Rebecca didn’t care. She said seriously, “Don’t you notice, Master is really tired today? For two consecutive weeks of performances, and each show lasts for six hours, no one is worried about Master’s Status?"

Rebecca caught a smile at the corner of Lan Li’s mouth. It was shallow and curled. The tiredness and heaviness seemed to hold the corners of the mouth, making it impossible to show the smile. "Master is not an iron fight. He has worked harder than anyone. We can’t help with anything, but at least we can maintain some sanity and don’t make the young master more difficult, okay?"

Everyone's eyes fell on Lan Li's cheeks. Tonight, Lan Li's condition is indeed not good, his physical strength and energy seem to have reached the extreme, the fatigue between his eyebrows is still lingering, even the light in his eyes is dimmed.

People gradually became silent; the commotion gradually calmed down. Consciously, his footsteps began to step back slightly, pulling a distance away, allowing oxygen to pour into Lan Li's surroundings again.

Such a simple scene made Lan Li's nose a little sore.

For Lan Li, the fan crowd is always not an easy task, even if the psychological barrier has gradually disappeared; but every time he faces such a situation, he still inevitably appears to be more cautious.

It has nothing to do with fans, but with crowds—just like in large gatherings, the commotion caused by excessive enthusiasm and madness, and even stampede accidents, are inevitable. When the number of people gathered exceeds a certain limit, the situation is out of control and everything becomes unknown.

Deep down in my heart, such alarms have never completely disappeared.

But this scene just now changed Lan Li's thinking. They still maintained their sanity, they were able to understand special circumstances, and they showed a rare demeanor, a little change, but precious. A trace of warmth flashed through his eyes, and it seemed that even the cold of the night was quietly dissipating.

"Thank you." Lan Li was not polite, but expressed his gratitude. He really needs a little space. "Also, sorry, my state is indeed not very good today. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com may not be able to sign and take pictures. Why not stand here and chat for a while. Have any thoughts and questions about this play. , Welcome to bring it up, how about it?"

"Of course there is no problem." In the crowd, another girl shouted, and then said, "Master, may I ask, in the last scene of the first act today, did the performance tension get out of control a bit? "

"Aha, I knew someone would be able to find out. Yes, today's control is a little bit insufficient, and the chants and physical explosiveness are a little too much." Lan Li admitted his mistakes frankly-even though it is not at all. The above is a mistake, "Such a subtle change, you still noticed, I must be more attentive."

Such a sincere answer made everyone chuckle, and the girl went on to say, "But you will be re-adjusted for the following performances. The second half of the performance is still top-notch. I have watched the first performance before, so I know , What is your best state? Only then did you capture some subtle changes."

A long performance is a test every day, even if it is Lan Li, it is impossible for him to be perfect in every performance. However, this is the meaning of the West End. As time advances, the test will become increasingly difficult.
