At this moment, the Richard Rogers Theater is so different, in a trance, it seems to be in the Chinese Theater in Los Angeles, but when you think about it, it is unique.

The reason is very simple, this premiere night did not take place in the evening, but in the afternoon. Because "Les Miserables" is six hours long, and like London's West End, will be divided into a first half and a second half, so, at 1.30pm, the red carpet of the premiere night begins.

The scorching sun at noon penetrated the steel-reinforced forest above New York City, and sparsely scattered, making people unable to open their eyes, and the surging heat wave almost scalded the skin. At this time, it should be lying on the beach. Sunbathe or hide inside the air conditioner instead of standing on top of a large flame and soaking up the sun.

Such a premiere night, in a unique and alternative way, made its mark on Broadway history.

Standing on the red carpet, Paul Walker only felt that he was in a steamer, and his whole body was exuding steam; and, in order to comply with theater etiquette, in addition to the standard suit and shirt, he also matched a tie, and the whole person was kept secret. Breathe out, and now the entire back is wet with sweat.

"Paul, are you okay? You look like you are taking a sauna in Finland." After the meeting, the reporter's first question was so beautiful and refined, and the happy atmosphere at the scene was evident. However, before Paul could answer, the reporter exclaimed again, "Ryan, you... just came out of the pool?"

Paul turned his head sharply, and then saw Ryan, sweating profusely, even more embarrassed than him, which really made people laugh.

Ryan stuck his tongue out and gasped, "It's alright, I'm alright. Once in the theater, everything was fine. It's definitely worth it for a great show, and before I set off, I Fully prepared and can't wait to enjoy this show."

"When the play was staged in London before, because of schedule conflicts, I was never able to go to the scene to watch it in person. It's a pity. Now I can finally make up for it, and I'm very happy." Ryan said with a big smile, and then he said sharply. Turn, "Renly, you know now, what a rare friend I am? For the sake of my hard work in publicity, how about it, can you reserve two seats for me in the box next week?"

After being stunned for a while, all the reporters burst into laughter.

The friendship between Paul, Ryan and Renly is indeed enviable, so a reporter asked the question, "Paul, you are here to express your support for Renly, so you attended today's premiere with Ryan. performance night?"

Paul was stunned for a moment. In fact, he was going to attend the premiere night with his daughter Meadow Ryan today, but Meadow refused.

First, because the premiere night attracted much attention, Meadows did not want to be exposed to the spotlight of the media, and preferred to choose a time later to watch alone in a low-key manner; Paul had watched the show together, and this time, she wanted to watch it with her friends.

In the end, Paul, with a sad face, had no choice but to go alone.

However, Renly suggested that Paul could go with Ryan as his relationship with Eva Mendes remains low-key and will be present alone today. So the two of them got together.

Now, in the face of such a sudden question from the reporter, Paul was stunned, but he didn't answer for a while, or Ryan was more witty and interjected, "Please don't misunderstand our friendship, when the ice bucket challenge is called, I will Broken with Renly. As for Paul, he's a lost lamb and I'm trying to steer him back on the right path."

It was a simple humorous joke, and all the reporters burst into laughter.

But that's the end of the interview.

Because the superstars who came to the scene one after another were in an endless stream, making people overwhelmed.

Surprisingly, the cast was far less than expected, Jennifer Lawrence was not there, Alexander Skarsgard was not there, Jake Gyllenhaal was not there, neither was Scarlett Johansson, before. The Hollywood stars who were buzzing during the Ice Bucket Challenge are very low-key today.

Later, it was Andrew Garfield who broke the mystery in one sentence, "Queue."

"Emma wanted to come with me to watch the premiere, but unfortunately, there is no place in the VIP box. This is not within Renly's control, nor is it within the control of the theatre, and I can only say that today's Performance seats are really in demand." Andrew said with a big smile, "I'm lucky, in order to watch this show, I had already said hello a month ago, and Renly reserved a ticket for me. "

As Andrew said, a ticket to the premiere night has become a show-off capital for high-level figures from all walks of life in the United States. Just like the Oscar night held by "Vanity Fair", the party itself is not important, but the qualifications to attend It is an industry recognition.

Now, everyone is chasing a VIP box seat on the premiere night of "Les Misérables" in an attempt to prove that they're on trend and in power.

Just look at Hollywood's attendance list:

Steven Spielberg, Barry Mayer, Meryl Streep, Scott Rudin, Frank Marshall, Emma Thompson, Jack Nicholson, Woody Aye Len and Harvey Weinstein.

Add Paul Walker, Ryan Gosling and Andrew Garfield to that list. In this comparison, the meaning of Andrew's words is immediately clear.

Everyone is eager to attend the premiere night, but not everyone can win the opportunity; after missing the first wave, they can only choose the second day, the third day, and then come to watch, to avoid falling behind the times trend.

It is hard to get a ticket, not only for ordinary audiences, but also for the top elites in Hollywood. For a time, paper in Luoyang is expensive.

Still, the red carpet of the premiere night was star-studded, and it was a real celebrity gathering, even compared to the Oscars red carpet, and outside of Hollywood, top giants from all walks of life have arrived. on site.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg was one of them, along with Apple's current CEO Tim Cook, the two Silicon Valley giants, and Sequoia Ventures executive Michael -Moritz (Michael-Moritz) also appeared in tonight's guest list, undoubtedly become the best representative of Silicon Valley.

NFL New York Giants owner John-Mara (John-Mara) - he is Rooney - Mara's uncle, the top American basketball star Kobe-Bryant (Kobe-Bryant), the world's No. 1 Supermodel Gisele Bundchen, and the new generation of socialite Olivia-Palermo in New York's Upper East Side, their appearance is just the beginning, representing the attention of different industries.

In addition to this, there are more faces unfamiliar to entertainment reporters, and they can't even name them. They can only learn about the situation from the mouths of social reporters, financial reporters, political/political reporters and other colleagues, from real estate tycoons to Wall Street upstarts, from emerging painters to new favorites in the fashion industry, from piano masters to famous conductors in Europe, from the Russian ballet to the London drama giants...

Behind those unfamiliar faces, they represented a lot of weight, which made people feel the madness and enthusiasm of the premiere night in every way.

At that time, the premiere night in the West End of London was heavy and distant, and the guest list revealed professionalism and classicism. Whether it was a noble with profound background or a famous actor, all aspects were closely related to drama; Ye looks much thinner, more like the scene of a variety talk show than the stage of a drama.

But, that's the difference between America and Britain, and it's also the difference between the West End and Broadway. Maybe, people don't like it; but it's all there and it's happening.

More importantly, the "copper smell" in the eyes of the artist has bloomed on the North American continent. The heritage of Broadway is not as deep as that of the West End, but the heritage of Broadway is longer than that of the West End. Broadway has more opportunities, at least from a profitability and survival standpoint. That's why shows that succeed in the West End, in the final analysis, go to Broadway.

The same goes for "Les Miserables".

These differences aside, no one can deny that the opening night at the Richard Rogers Theatre was a huge success, with the top celebrities in the VIP box setting off the conversation, and the 100% full audience igniting enthusiasm , In addition, there are tireless and persevering enthusiastic fans waiting at the entrance of the theater to cheer.

"The New York Post" said, "This is a party bigger than 'Edge of Tomorrow', like the most important performance stage for the upper class since 2012. Everyone dresses up to show off their own Appearance and posture, trying to prove once again his artistic literacy and rich heritage."

This is not a negative sarcasm, but a positive affirmation, and in a few words the essence of the opening night is sketched out: Renly Hall, now out of the ranks of ordinary actors, is entering the next level and class. In particular, the family background of the hereditary aristocracy has become a halo above the head, making people flock to them.

But the success or failure of a play, whether in London or New York, depends on the critics, not the celebrities.

Among the numerous accolades received in London, expectations are gradually rising. Now on Broadway, "Les Miserables" also needs to undergo a severe test. In the eyes of critics who are critical and harsh, sharp and difficult, those celebrities are not Plus points, but minus points, it doesn't seem like a great start.

When the premiere night was over, all eyes were focused on it. Unprecedentedly, the word-of-mouth of a play has aroused so much attention and discussion. So, while Les Miserables has won the British, how about the Americans?
