There was a hint of helplessness in the frankness, which really made Ren Li couldn't help laughing. He had to lower his eyes and hide his smile before looking at Andy again, "First of all, I can get the chance to audition, I I will give John a call later to exchange information in this regard, but whether I can be selected or not depends on my performance."

Going around in circles, work on a theatrical project, and finally back to John Codd, was really unexpected.

Renly could understand Andy's frustration, though. After all, drama wasn't his forte. After all that effort, it didn't take much effort. The emptiness was inevitable; and honestly, Andy nodded in agreement. It's not easy to get back on the stage again.

"However, your work is still not over. Regarding the remuneration, about the performance schedule, about the promotion plan, and even whether the show will land in Hollywood, how it will land in Hollywood, and what kind of cooperation method will be landed, all these require the presence of an agent." Renly To be honest, these matters are extremely cumbersome and require the professional skills of the agent; if there is no agent, the actors will be taken care of by the union. "Emma-Fiding is a difficult manager, but her bottom line is also It's very clear, it's all about the work. Under her leadership, Almeida has been the most dynamic theatre in London's West End over the past few years."

Andy didn't respond, just listened carefully. If he just rely on himself to inquire, I am afraid that these inside information will take a lot of work; more importantly, Renly's knowledge of the West End of London is obviously not trivial, and it has been hidden until now! Taking a step back, if he has always limited his eyes to Broadway, I am afraid that he will never have a chance to see this side of Renly.

"Secondly, I'm just a nobody in the West End of London, especially in Europe." Renly had a smile on his lips, but his eyes were very sincere, "Andy, I'm only twenty-two years old, and I'm only in London. The West End was rolling for a year, and no one in the art world knew my name before the 'Pacific War,' whether it was America or Europe."

Renly emphasized the art world, not the life world.

"However, if you are willing to talk to Emma and John, they may reveal some of my secrets." Renly said half-jokingly, "Shh, remember to keep it secret."

Andy's expression did not change, neither did his movements, and he was thinking about it in his mind.

As Renly said, he is only twenty-two years old, and he can't have any fame and reputation in the West End of London; but from another perspective, as Renly's home base, it doesn't seem to be a backwater, at least Renly's academy Orthodox origin is worth noting. Next, after going to Berlin, is it possible to use it a little bit?

Putting his thoughts aside for a while, Andy looked at Renly again, "So, are you okay with Les Miserables?" Tonight I headed to the Almeida Theater to watch the play, and Andy was mainly trying to get an audition for Renly But now it seems that there is no need to worry about auditions at all, and Renly is responsible for the performance of the performance, and Andy's focus has suddenly changed - he should start thinking about Berlin.

"Yes, leave the audition to me." Renly agreed simply.

As one of the most classic plays in the field of drama, "Les Miserables" is different from "Hamlet", "Macbeth" and other Shakespeare plays, because the former is a musical, and the test of the actors ranges from acting, singing skills to stage performance. It's all-encompassing; while Shakespeare's repertoire is a play, the ability of the lines is crucial, especially Shakespeare's obscure and poetic sonnets, which are definitely the ultimate test.

But no one can deny that the performance difficulty and ideological depth of "Les Miserables" are not inferior to Shakespeare, and the difficulty of subsequent adaptations, remakes and remakes has increased exponentially.

In the West End of London, only the 1985 version of "Les Miserables" won the recognition of the Oliver Award, and the subsequent versions only won the audience's most popular award, and other departments could not even get nominations; Broadway Among them, the 1987 version swept thousands of troops, and subsequent versions were praised and criticized. The 2006 version won three nominations, but returned empty-handed.

It is not difficult to arrange "Les Miserables", but it is difficult to achieve a good adaptation, a good interpretation and a good performance, because the 1985 West End version and the 1987 Broadway version are too classic to be surpassed.

The same is true for actors, who are always under more pressure to perform classic roles - because the audience is so familiar with the characters, the veteran audience even clearly knows every line, every emotional turn, any omission Mistakes and mistakes may become fatal flaws that ruin the entire repertoire.

Even in the field of contemporary drama, acting in Shakespeare's plays is still considered to be one of the ultimate challenges for actors. There are not many plays that can be compared with it, but there are not many. "Les Miserables" is one of them.

Now, the opportunity to challenge "Les Miserables" is undoubtedly rare for Renly. Three years ago, George and Elizabeth offered a chance to challenge "Hamlet", and he missed it; three years later, he got a chance to challenge "Les Miserables", and this time he did not want to repeat the same mistakes.

"The movie version, you can also submit an audition video." Andy added again, "It's just an audition anyway, there's nothing to lose by trying it."

Andy was still worried that after the theatrical version of the audition had surfaced, Renly simply ignored the movie version and had to explain one more thing. But I didn't expect that Renly Micro

Nodding with a smile, without any hesitation or hesitation, the affirmative words were delivered, "Okay, I see."

Agreeing so readily, Andy narrowed his eyes and looked at it carefully, full of disbelief and doubt. Before today, Renly was a man of his word, and he always kept his word. Andy never doubted Renly's commitment and credibility; but today, Andy discovered for the first time, hidden in the city of London , and the unknown side of Renly, inevitably, Andy felt that there was something in Renly's words.

The twinkle in his eyes made Renly laugh dumbly, "Don't worry. Whether it's the movie version or the theatrical version, in the end, it's the same work." Especially Tom Hooper's movie version, "In the audition. At the stage, the content that the actors can present and the skills that the actors can show are almost the same. The same video tape is delivered to the drama and the movie, just by the way. After that, when the invitations are confirmed for both works, it will be the other one. Story, and then make a choice, it will be too late."

Such a speech was very convincing, but Andy shook his head gently, "Before I meet Emma and John, are you sure you have nothing else to add?"

Renly couldn't help but chuckle. Instead of answering, he stood up. "You'd better go now. London's rush hour is coming up, and you don't want to be stuck on the road." Renly walked into the room, ready to start today's exercise—

During the filming of "Edge of Tomorrow", he still insisted on polishing his basic martial arts skills. What he learned at the "Liu's Martial Arts Academy" has persisted for a long time, and the effect is showing little by little. However, Renly also knew that this was water mill work, and years of training could only make a small difference.

Andy and Roy exchanged glances, and Roy shrugged helplessly and laughed, "Go back to London first. If you have any questions, we will call and contact you."

With that "good guy/good brother" appearance, Andy smiled and said, "If I remember correctly, you and Renly are on the same front, right?" The relationship between managers and entertainers is more intimate. , the only thing managers need to consider is the interests of artists, and there are many things that managers need to measure.

Roy was noncommittal, "When we have the same goal, we are on the same front." It was neat and straight to the point.

Andy chewed it carefully, nodded in approval, "call me at night." Then, Andy got up and left the photography base, coming and going in a hurry, this is an extremely busy season.

After dinner, Roy started to get busy. The Grammys needs to be communicated as soon as possible. After writing a few emails, and looking at the time, it was already half past nine, and the time passed extremely fast. Judging by the time, Andy should have started watching "Macbeth" by now. I wonder if the talks after the performance went well. Thinking of this, Roy got up and walked towards Renly's room.

The door of the room was unlocked. Roy knocked on the door politely. Then he opened the door and walked in. Then he saw Nathan who was playing with the camera, "...Are you sure? The light here doesn't look good. Otherwise, tomorrow morning, we will find time to shoot again? I checked it, and there is no shooting schedule for you tomorrow morning. "

"Shooting what?" Roy interjected.

Renly stood in the center of the hall, with the chairs and low tables in the way removed to clear an open space. "Audit video." After explaining, he said to Nathan, "There's plenty of light, that's enough. The point of the audition video is the moment of deep impression, not the performance details."

Nathan raised his shoulders, "I believe you've impressed people enough, even if there is no audition video." Despite this, Nathan stood by the tripod and began to fix the camera.

"Take the audition video now?" Roy said unexpectedly. Andy had only left the filming base a few hours ago, and Renly was now shooting the audition video. So urgent, so positive, it could be seen that Renly was serious about getting back on the stage.

"The audition video is not a one-shot," Renly explained with a smile. "Given that I have work to do every day for the next period of time, and it's still a lot of work. So, in order to get a reel satisfying audition tapes, it's best to start now."
