Eddie Redmayne was a little breathless, as if he had been punched hard in the chest. It didn't hurt, but it was stuffy.

Cameron interrupted his audition with one understatement; to make matters worse, everyone turned their heads, closely watching Cameron's conversation with Renly. Not just the "Les Miserables" crew, but the rest of the West End theatre cast, as if an invisible spotlight had been cast there.

But, here's the problem: the stage is at his feet, the spotlight is on him, the performance is in his hands, this is his moment! This should be his shining moment! This should be the moment when he shines on stage, proves his strength, and wins his role! His lightning, his thunder, his light, were stolen.

It was dull and dull, and it was such a bad feeling, it was awful.

calm. Eddie clenched his fists hard. The aristocratic education from childhood to adulthood, as well as etiquette education, allowed him to suppress all the turbulent emotions, and the restless emotions all over his body gradually calmed down. He needs to focus on his acting, he should focus on his audition, not on an amateur actor.

"Empty chairs next to an empty table", Eddie began to revisit the entire performance segment in his mind, brewing emotions, brewing emotions.

"Papa", two crisp applause, let everyone's eyes project over, Eddie is no exception, in the aisle of the theater, he saw Cameron's figure, is walking back to the "Les Miserables" crew The front row area where the staff gathered, but there was no sign of Renly.

Cameron said loudly, "Next, let's listen to Marius and Enjolras' confrontation. The next five auditions are arranged like this. Let's see the spark between Marius and Enjolras." Turning around, Cameron looked at the actors sitting behind him, "Those who are preparing to audition for Enjolras, line up now, and enter the backstage according to order."

Marius and Enjolras?

These two are close revolutionary/revolutionary partners, and their family backgrounds and ambitions for revenge are very compatible. They are not only confidantes and friends, but also comrades-in-arms. However, Marius fell in love with Cosette, which changed their fate - Enjolras died heroically in the revolution, while Marius was rescued by Jean Valjean when his life was on the line , reunited with Cosette.

"'Red and Black', then perform this section. Um...Eddie Redmayne?" Cameron's call made Eddie look up, "Change the aria temporarily, you need a little preparation time. If that doesn't work, you can postpone a performance sequence until the next group comes up..."

"No, I can." Before Cameron's words were finished, Eddie interrupted directly and volunteered, "I have no problem with all the arias of Marius." This is the basic quality of a drama actor. What's more, "Red and Black" is a relatively easier aria than "Empty Chairs by the Empty Table."

"Red and Black" is part of a full-act scene from the "abc coffee/red and black" aria.

The background of the whole story tells that all the people with lofty ideals gathered in the abc coffee house to discuss important matters, but Marius was lost because of his love for Cosette at first sight, and all the partners began to ridicule Marius— - Marius, who never cared about male/joy/female/love, is actually enlightened, which is really too rare. Marius did not deny it, but admitted that he had fallen in love.

"Red and Black" is an aria that appears against such a background. Marius and Enjolras went back and forth, not tit-for-tat, but a battle of momentum.

Looking up, Eddie was about to ask who would play his Enjolras; then out of the corner of his eye, he saw a figure appearing on the left front of the stage, walking up the steps with a friendly smile on his face . It's Renly.

Eddie's pupils shrank slightly, and before he could ask, Cameron's voice came from the audience again, "This is Enjolras. Get ready."

Then, Tom Hooper's light laughter came over, "What's going on here? Temporary arrangement? Such an accident may not have the best effect."

"But it is the most direct manifestation of strength. This is theatrical stage, not a Hollywood shot." Cameron's indifferent words then took over.

...

The next words gradually became inaudible.

First was anger, that he was compared to that person again, like a chewing gum that couldn't be shaken off; then there was shame, that he and that guy who made a name for themselves were put on the same stage to compare him, did he underestimate his strength or overestimate that guy? The strength of people; and then the firmness and determination, everything speaks with strength, the stage will not lie, and the strength and the gap are clear!

In an instant, his emotions were turbulent. After quickly experiencing ups and downs, he regained his calm, but the turbulent undercurrent hidden in it made him start to fight high, and the muscles of his arms began to tense unconsciously, and finally curled up into fists. Secretly cheer for yourself!

All the mixed thoughts settled down, and I gathered my attention again. As Cameron said, a temporary unexpected test, this is a crisis, but also a good opportunity. For an actor with poor strength, this may be the beginning of a nightmare; but for an actor with outstanding strength, the wonderful performance in a crisis situation is the best proof of absolute strength! more importantly--

Lifting his head, Eddie cast a glance at Renly. Renly seemed to have sensed the surging aura in advance, and raised his eyes at the same time, his eyes crossed in the air, and then Renly showed a friendly smile and nodded in greeting; Eddie's mouth twitched.

Pulled out a goodwill arc, returned with a nod, instantly collided, instantly separated, and then moved away.

A faint smell of gunpowder filled the air.

Defeat Renly! In the head-to-head duel, defeat Renly with dignity! This is his opportunity and his stage, and he will prove himself indisputably with his performance! He wants to tell every actor in the West End of London that the orthodox academy actors are different after all, and they are definitely not comparable to those pseudo-academic actors who are half-way out and join the Hollywood camp!

After today, all the contrasts, all the arguments, all the comments can be completely disappeared, completely left in this theater, completely killed on this stage. In a school-style duel!

Thinking of this, Eddie was once again in high spirits, raised his chin high, straightened his spine firmly, paced back and forth in place, relaxed his muscles, and began to recall the tunes, lyrics and emotion. Renly Hall, he'll let everyone know how vulnerable this guy is, this guy is so good at it!

On the stage, it fell into silence, and the two actors were immersed in their own thoughts and entered the state in their own way. Eddie seemed to have closed his eyes, pacing back and forth, completely absorbed in his thoughts; Renly stood there, doing a brief warm-up, relaxing his limbs, but his fainting eyes gave a glimpse of concentration.

Two people stand on the same stage, but there is no intersection. There seems to be an invisible air wall in the middle, separating the two sides. The invisible but turbulent airflow is quietly changing the aura of the entire stage. This kind of situation is impossible to occur on the filming set, but it is not uncommon on the stage of drama, and the vague expectation begins to rise quietly.

The staff came up in an orderly manner. In addition to the original set of tables and chairs, three sets of tables and chairs were placed. The corner of the abc coffee house was finished, and then receded like a tide; after waiting for a while, the stage The lights began to change, the lights in the second half were all extinguished, the first half was left with a cream-yellow light, and the part aimed at the four sets of tables was a bright yellow light, and the layering gradually emerged.

Both actors realized that this was a sign of readiness.

Eddie stepped forward quickly, took the lead in the chair, adjusted his posture and movements, and gradually entered Marius mode; while Renly was completely different.

Renly didn't step forward in a hurry, but stood in the same place and went around in circles a few times. The rhythm of his footsteps changed gradually and gradually. At the same time, his temperament changed slowly and slowly. It's like Sichuan has changed its face. That kind of change is not an earth-shaking subversion, but a subtle change.

I saw Ren Li puffed up his chest and raised his shoulders, the expression on his face gradually disappeared, but not stiff, but completely relaxed, with his chin slightly retracted, his low-key posture contrasted with his confident posture, his eyes Looking straight ahead condensedly and profoundly, full of vigor, firmness, and ambition, but always maintaining a restrained and low-key attitude, the soul that has experienced the baptism of war is so persevering and so powerful!

More important is the step, stride, but calm; eager, but not chaotic. It was just a change of posture, and then in a few big steps, he walked towards the table and chair, and Hengdao sat down immediately. Between gestures, Enjolras' character image has been outlined.

Cameron and Tom, who were sitting in the audience, exchanged glances, leaving Jean-Valjean aside, but it must be admitted that Renly played Enjolras almost effortlessly, even the young and handsome face. And gentleman's elegant temperament are sewn tightly.

Eddie on the other side also performed well, with steady steps and steady posture, but there was a bright and confused light on his face. The excitement and anxiety of worrying about gains and losses could vaguely be seen in the hesitation of being immersed in love. and excited. However, I don't know if it is restraint or nervousness, Eddie's movements are still not completely released, and the fullness of the whole emotion is still slightly insufficient.

However, this is just an appearance. It can still be seen that Eddie's basic skills are solid, which is enough to make people slightly bow their heads to express their appreciation.

Cameron, who was sitting in the auditorium, raised his hand and gestured, and the staff standing in the background began to play the background music of the "Red and Black" aria. In a real show, there's a drawer-like space below the stage in which the entire symphony orchestra hides and plays live; but today was just an audition, and the recording was enough.

The grand symphony prelude sounded slowly, melodious and majestic, echoing in the entire theater.
