Chapter 1240

On April 28, 2013, the Oliver prize was officially unveiled at the Royal Theatre.

As one of the most famous old theatres in London, it has always been the highest performing stage for ballet and opera. Numerous classic works have been produced and countless moments of classic memory have been created. After it was awarded the honorary title of "Royal" in 1892, it has become an important stage with international reputation.

Tonight, everyone's eyes are gathered here.

For a long time, the Oliver awards have always been low-key and calm, not to mention the audience. Even the journalists have been calm and calm, not to see the enthusiasm of other awards ceremony. They just wait for the award results in silence, and then interview, publish reports and follow-up in an orderly and slow manner——

To be more accurate, most of the media are closed to the step of "reporting the winning list", and there is not much relevant news in the follow-up. After all, it's not the Oscars or the three major European film festivals; Moreover, except for Judy Dench, Maggie Smith and a few other names, most of the names on the winning list are completely unfamiliar to the general public, and the report value is really limited.

But this time is different. This may be a glorious moment of history's birth, or a moment that history missed.

The direction of a trophy, however, maintains the weight of the pen and ink recorded in history books. Whether it's a gain or a miss, it will be a stimulating moment like a free fall. Just imagine it in your mind, you can't help sweating your palms. Naturally, no one wants to miss it.

As a result, the Oliver prize, which has always been neglected, has become the focus of attention. Not only the industry, but also the news media, even the drama lovers and fans have arrived at the scene early. There were two or three hundred people gathered outside the door of the Royal Theatre.

Compared with those top award ceremonies, such a scene can only be regarded as a pediatrics, in which there are more than 100 reporters and only 200 fans. However, every actor, director, screenwriter and theater manager who arrived at the scene was really satisfied with the surprise tonight.

On this night, it seems that even the weather in the British Isles has become affectionate.

The gray blue sky is smeared with a layer of orange sunset, which vaguely reveals the hustle and bustle of early summer. The water vapor of the Thames River and the dust of the British Empire museum can be smelled in the air. The heavy historical charm permeates with a touch of light vitality, and blooms the unique style of the city.

Tonight's Oliver awards ceremony, for the convenience of live broadcast on TV, specially set up a red carpet segment, but did not learn from the Oscar or Golden Globe awards such a large-scale award ceremony, the red carpet segment has evolved into a catwalk, but a simple and decent but solemn welcome ceremony——

Open the door and welcome the guests.

On the whole red carpet, there is less impetuous and gorgeous, more warm and comfortable; Less tension and publicity of intrigue, more lively and friendly. Feeling the light warmth of late spring and early summer, I can't help but want to carry a bottle of beer or a glass of red wine, blowing the breeze in the evening, and enjoy the beauty of the night.

The guests present appeared in front of the public one after another.

Some people choose to dress up, suit or evening dress to show their best side; Some people choose to wear light, short skirt or jeans to show their relaxed and freehand side; Some people choose odd costumes, while sequins or scarlet paint the dramatic side of the stage.

In this way, I stop on the red carpet, chatting with the audience, talking face to face with the reporters, and talking with my colleagues side by side. It seems that this is not an award ceremony, but a graduation ceremony. Between the laughter, the corners of each participant's mouth rise slightly.

Seems a little lazy, but also seems a little free.

It's hard to imagine that in the United States, far away from the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, the award ceremony tries to follow the etiquette of the upper class society and create a group of top-level parties; However, in the three islands of England, the award ceremony is breaking away the shackles of noble etiquette, opening the door to join hands with the ordinary audience, just like the stage, breaking through the barriers of art.

A wise man once said that only those who really own can be more open-minded and willing to let go of obsession and embrace different possibilities; But the person who did not have, in the pursuit of desire, gradually fell into the pattern of paranoia, refused to relax.

Wet apricot rain, not cold willow wind.

This was originally used to describe the fun of spring outing, but at this moment, it has no sense of disobedience, just makes people happy; However, in this warm ocean, everyone's expression is more or less distracted, seems to be absent-minded, difficult to describe accurately, but exists objectively, just like

It's like the real climax has never come. Without the core, the highlight and the main axis, it is still incomplete.

"Young master!"

A cry of astonishment flashed across the sky, tearing away the splendor of the Royal Grand Theatre. In an instant, it attracted all eyes to the past. Then, it outlined a thrilling and soul frightening way to make all the commotion and madness condense on the eternal moment of the hourglass.

Soul, there it is.

The peak of tonight finally appeared at this moment. All the eyes and minds gathered together. Involuntarily, they began to hold their breath and gaze, quietly listening to the sound of the heart hitting their chest. The smile rose slowly and slowly, and the eyes brightened slowly and slowly.

Ned Mulan, a reporter for Empire magazine, and Luke tridewey, who he is interviewing, both follow the voice.

Dark blue plaid shirt, light gray suit coat, dark blue suit pants, dark blue suede casual shoes. Simple and low-key, generous and decent, leisure and noble, seemingly insipid and impermanent dress up, but perfectly outlines the intoxicating temperament, after taking care of the short hair appears to be spiritual and energetic.

However, a light pink polka dot square on the left chest of the suit shows a triangular tip, but it easily lights up the whole outfit, revealing a trace of mischief and vitality of young people. It instantly weakens the sense of solemnity and seriousness, and adds a touch of casual and freehand brushwork. Everything is so light but just right.

a young master.

This is the title of lanli, which truly interprets the inside information and temperament behind the title. "Master lanli", the syllables colliding between lips and teeth, extends a wonderful and moving joy in the composition of the line of sight, just like a butterfly flapping its wings, which makes the heart jump again purely and naturally.

For two months, Lan Li, who had disappeared for two months, appeared under the spotlight. It seemed that nothing had changed, but it seemed that nothing was the same.

"Young master!"

Before he realized it, Ned also cried out. He was shocked when he heard his voice. The excitement and excitement could not be described accurately.

It's hard to imagine that it was ned who revealed lanli's real identity at the beginning, but it's only today that Ned really understands the meaning behind that identity and the natural temperament of this young man, which other actors can't match and imitate.

Then ned noticed that on the red carpet, it was loud, but orderly.

All the audience are smiling, waving their arms and shouting slogans wildly and restlessly, but all of them are standing in the same place, no one is moving forward, no one is colliding, just quietly watching the figure, as if only so, the happiness in the chest has been full up.

The next second, Ned understood why.

Lan Li took the initiative to step forward, greeting other colleagues and shaking hands with the audience. The harmonious scene does not look like an award ceremony at all, but more like the signature area at the back door of Almeida theater. Almost every audience can feel the response of Langley from a close distance.

The west end, after all, is not Broadway.

Lanli, after all, is not a casual actor.

Temperament, after all, is different.

"Young master!" When he yelled again, Ned said a lot, easily attracted lanli's attention, waved repeatedly, and then he could see lanli coming leisurely.

After nodding to ned for the first time, instead of being in a hurry to accept the interview, Langley politely turns to look at Luke tridewey standing next to him, takes the initiative to introduce himself, and enthusiastically mentions "the mystery of the late night dog" starring Luke, "I very much like this play. Unfortunately, I only watched one performance at that time, and then left London. Excuse me, is it still on now? "

This year, Luke is only 29 years old. He is also very young. He is the youngest of the five nominees for the best actor in the drama, but his strength is beyond doubt. As far as Langley is concerned, if he has the right to vote in the competition for the award, he will choose Luke.

Luke was slightly surprised, but he still had a big smile. "Of course. You are always welcome. We're still performing at the kotzger National Theatre, but we're going to switch to Apollo next month

Lan Li said with a smile, "look, the audience's eyes are still bright."

Because the Apollo Theater is a grand theater, far larger than the kotzger National Theater, which also means that after receiving the Oliver Award nomination, "the mystery of late night dog" has successfully entered the public eye.

"What's more, how do you know I'm Luke? Not Harry? "
