Chapter 287 287 The So-Called Personality

Being interrupted abruptly in the middle of a show is like riding a roller coaster and having a power outage while flipping, which is really disgusting. In Broadway theaters, carrying a camera is considered impolite, and photography is forbidden, and flash? This is simply heinous.

A flashlight suddenly turned on at the scene, and the audience all expressed their dissatisfaction with muttering, Hugo and Joseph were no exception. The mysterious guest directly stretched out the middle fingers of his hands, expressing his protest in such a strong way.

But apart from complaining, the audience couldn't do anything, and they didn't plan to do anything. Everyone quickly turned their heads and refocused their attention on the stage, ready to continue watching the performance, but the performance that was still going on on the stage suddenly stopped. Down, to be precise, Catherine stopped.

"The gentleman who uses the flash, would you please go out?" Catherine walked to the front of the stage, facing the position where the flash was lit just now, and said loudly. At this time, Catherine was leaning on crutches and could not walk easily, but she still He raised his head high and expressed his inner anger with arrogant and righteous words.

The accident made the scene quiet for an instant. The culprit obviously didn't want to stand up and admit his mistake, but Catherine would not allow such a thing to happen, "I repeat, get out! Otherwise, the show will not start again!" Katherine spoke loudly on stage, this time in a less polite manner, before repeating, "Get out!"

Sure enough, a person in the auditorium on the left stood up in a hurry and walked out towards the theater door slightly staggering. When his figure disappeared in the light and shadow at the door, Catherine walked back to her own. Position, adjusted his breathing, and started to enter the state of performance again, bringing all the audience back to the drama of "major problems".

Although Hugo has heard countless times that Catherine is a woman with full personality and sharp edge, and her brilliant deeds are widely circulated, imagine that she dares to slap a top director, then the sudden incident just now It's not surprising; but even so, Hugo saw Catherine stand on the stage with her own eyes, and that powerful momentum was not weakened by her age at all, and it was still jaw-dropping, and even wanted to applaud her.

Maybe many people have personality or even willfulness to describe Catherine, but Hugo is more willing to use the word professional to describe Catherine's behavior just now.

An audience member using flashlights during the performance is not only disrespectful to the performer and interrupts the rhythm of the performance, but also affects other audience members and affects everyone's input. So Catherine expressed her dissatisfaction with the audience in place of the actors and expelled the audience from the theater.

Perhaps, Catherine is a sexually assertive person, but she is also a dedicated actress.

This reminds Hugo of the first half of 2013, when Helen. Mirren, an old British drama, performed a stage play in the West End of London. As a result, the parade on the street was so loud that it seriously penetrated into the weak walls. Inside the theater, the audience and performers are miserable. As a result, the actress, who won an Oscar for her role as Elizabeth. II and is known as "Her Majesty," walked out of the theater wearing a pearl-encrusted play and a tiara. He came out and expressed his condemnation in dramatic language, "Quiet! I'm performing here, and people are paying a lot for tickets!"

After that, the parade went quiet.

In fact, Catherine's actions today are strikingly similar to Helen's. While being domineering, they also show their dedication and focus.

Hugo couldn't help but wonder, if he stood on the stage, would he also scold the off-site interference factors for being too focused on his performance? Although Hugo's personality itself is not like this, he really stood on the stage of the stage play. On, who knows if this will turn out to be the case? It's just that Hugo won't be able to find the answer in a short period of time. Given his level of water, it is difficult for Broadway to invite him to be a part of a certain drama.

Although she has gone through the episode just now, Catherine, who has returned to the performance, still has no problem. She quickly re-entered the state and continued to provide wonderful performances for the audience. The audience off the field were obviously very professional and did not talk in a low voice. They immediately returned to the live performance and re-engaged in their appreciation.

But I don't know if Catherine's domineering image just now had an influence. When Hugo watched Catherine's performance again, words such as "strong" and "domineering" always appeared in his head, which did not match the characters in the play. It made Hugo quite dumbfounded. Of course, this also makes Hugo admire Catherine even more, because she can switch between different roles freely without feeling repulsive and at the same time not making the audience uncomfortable.

It can be seen from the audience's reaction that Catherine's performance still easily convinced the audience, making the somewhat dull second half still full of surprises, and making the original esoteric theme full of charm. Although Hugo is not a Catholic believer, it is difficult for Hugo to say whether there is any god or ghost in this world after experiencing the time travel, and under Catherine's "persuasion", Hugo's mind can't help but start Thinking about issues such as life and death, religion and belief, I have to say that this is the charm of performance.

When the performance ended, Hugo didn't even notice the passage of time, and sighed in surprise, "This is the end?" But at the same time, Hugo also stood up and applauded immediately to express his inner excitement. , to give the most sincere appreciation to the wonderful performances of the actors.

And Joseph jumped up in excitement and slapped his hands as hard and fast as a seal. Such a Joseph was something Hugo had never seen before, and he could clearly feel the slightly trembling fluctuations on Joseph's body because he was too excited, which made the smile at the corner of Hugo's mouth involuntarily magnified.

More than Hugo and Joseph, the entire audience stood up and gave the warmest applause, including the group of people sitting on Hugo's left, the mysterious guest also stood up and patted his hands politely. , including the big man who was suspected of falling asleep also stood up a beat slower, and applauded together ignorantly.

There were not many spectators at the scene today, it was estimated that there were less than 200 people, and one was driven away by Catherine in the middle, but the audience that was not full at this time broke out with the hottest support. This thunderous applause was Heartfelt applause from the audience. In a serious and formal occasion like a theater, there are no screams, whistles, no cheers, only lonely applause, but the continuous applause on the scene is the most direct affirmation of the actors on the stage, just applause The compliments it constituted shook Hugo's heart like a mountain of mountains and seas. This is the real live performance!

Hugo didn't know how long he had applauded, but all the audience stood proudly, like a straight green pines, applauding continuously, maybe ten minutes, maybe fifteen minutes, the passage of time doesn't matter at all, rain. If only knew that his hands had become red and swollen, the excitement in his heart was completely vented. Perhaps, only in dramas, operas and other occasions, applause for dozens of minutes will appear, because this is the only way for the audience to express their inner emotions, and it is also the only way for the audience to give back to the actors.

Due to the overwhelming applause at the scene, the actors had to come to the stage three times before and after the curtain call. Among them, Catherine won a three-minute applause alone. This is the charm of Broadway. The audience's preferences are shown at the first time, and the audience's satisfaction with the actors is also shown directly and without any cover. At the same time, the audience's senses of the performance are also full of light in the broad daylight, which is a blow to the actors. Motivation is enough to become the most authentic touchstone for testing an actor's performance.

"Your evaluation of the play just now is very correct." After the applause gradually subsided, a voice came from the left hand. This voice was very special, a little hoarse, but it was very gentle, not loud, but rather warm. When he whispered into Hugo's ears, a sense of familiarity came to his face. "I was still curious just now, have I met you, and now it seems that I did not admit the wrong person."

Hugo subconsciously turned his head and looked over, and said at the same time, "Thank you..." Then Hugo saw the man in front of him, and in an instant, it was as if he had been struck by lightning, and he froze in place. The words got stuck in his throat.

The man in front of him had a pale face, and his rosy lips were particularly conspicuous. His nose was straight and sharp, as if a sharp blade had cut his face in half, and his eyes that were not bright were drawn lightly. His lower eyeliner, and a long black curly hair casually fell on his shoulders. At this time, he had put on his top hat, covering about one-third of his face, but even so, this face was still So clear and familiar, even more familiar than Hugo's own face.

Although Hugo has lived here for more than a year, he is still a little unfamiliar with his face, and even in many moments he will look at his face in a daze, and then ask a question mark, "Who is this? "

But even if Hugo didn't recognize his own face, it was absolutely impossible for him not to recognize the face of the man in front of him, and the man's true identity made Hugo, who had experienced many big scenes, instantly become speechless. situation, standing there like a goofy nerd.

The man in front of him is the one and only man in the world, and there is only one man in the long river of music, who can never be replicated.

Michael Jackson.
