"Your Excellency. Your Excellency! Jesus Christ, Lord Renly, at last, God, at last!"

The cheering shouts broke through the warm indoor air, and found Renly, who was deeply surrounded by the surging crowd, and everyone's eyes shifted invariably, and then they could see the Count of Richard de Ville. ——

Or to be more precise, Earl of Oxford.

The earl is well-known in the circles of the West End of London. He has never concealed his enthusiasm and dedication to drama. His professional vision and critical taste have also been recognized by countless industry veterans, although he has never written a drama review. , but each time a new play comes on stage, his opinions and judgments can often become one of the industry's wind vanes.

When "Les Miserables" was staged at the Almeida Theater, Earl Richard did not hide his love and support, and even did not hesitate to break the shackles of the upper class. Through the matchmaking of George Hall, he completely ignored the "Hall family". internal strife", just to get to know Renly.

Every year at the Oliver Awards, Earl Richard is bound to be there in person. In the VIP box, he will always have a place.

At this moment, Richard completely ignored the crowd around Renly, and completely ignored the etiquette of social occasions. He simply and rudely interrupted the heated conversation, cut into the conversation unreasonably, and came warmly and kindly. In front of Ren Li, the excitement was like a star-chasing girl, and her whole body was full of excitement and excitement.

This is the Earl of Oxford.

The aristocratic class and the unique style/flow/person in the upper class, go their own way, deviant, and unruly, even if they are over fifty, they are still like urchins who are not grown up. A world.

Originally, the colleagues around Renly all tacitly gave way to the space, because every practitioner in the industry has heard of Richard's name, they know Richard, and they appreciate Richard—— A truly pure audience like Richard is what drives them to keep trying and keep going.

After a polite exchange of glances with Renly, the colleagues turned and left.

Richard didn't seem to notice his "rude" behavior at all, but sighed and looked at Renly again and again, gushing out his views, "Please, tell me a little good news, this one-year anniversary performance, You're going back to the stage, right? I mean, Daniel is still too crafty, he's a great actor, but there's still a bit of spirituality missing from the performance, and the lack of layering completely weakens John The original intention of directing the six-hour version."

No courtesies, no greetings, no greetings. As soon as we met, Richard couldn't wait to cut into the theme and express his wishes.

Richard is now discussing the lead star of the second edition of "Les Miserables."

Renly laughed dumbly, "Thank you, thank you very much." He expressed his gratitude humbly and politely, "but unfortunately, I will not be returning to the stage for this one-year anniversary performance. To be precise, in a short time, I will not prepare With any performance, you know, the previous performances have consumed too much energy and I need to rest."

Richard immediately showed a look of disappointment, "It's a pity, it's really a pity." After shaking his head again and again, he restrained his expression and spread his hands gently, "But I understand. John's version of Jean-Africa It's not an easy role to play, and that's why your performance is so rare."

The control and etiquette of details, which can be freely retracted, reveal Richard's aristocratic heritage, which is still different from ordinary people after all.

"So, do you have any plans for the next? For example, to return to the West End stage." Richard started a whole new topic with gusto, "Not media bullshit, I mean, Shakespeare, I think , you can certainly be a good Shakespeare actor in the mantle of Sir Oliver."

What Richard said was that not long ago, the official website of "US Weekly" launched a questionnaire to give in-depth feedback on the recovery of Broadway and the West Side in the past year. The whole questionnaire covered thirty questions, including " Which actor do you most want to appear on the stage of the drama?”, “If any actor returns to the drama, the audience will be willing to buy a ticket to enter the theatre”, “Which play is the most popular?” and so on.

There's also a section about Renly, and it's still mostly about Les Miserables, but the last question is:

"If Renly was on the stage again, which character would the audience most want to see?"

In the questionnaire, the "Phantom of the Opera" Phantom Wraith successfully won the first prize, gaining more than 38% of the votes.

But in the eyes of industry insiders, such a vote is meaningless.

The main reason is that ordinary audiences have limited understanding of drama, and the repertoires they are familiar with have obvious limitations. "Les Miserables", "The Phantom of the Opera", "Cat", "Miss Saigon" and other four classic musicals. Naturally, it became the first choice; in addition, familiar plays such as "Out of My World", "Turandot", "Madame Butterfly", "West Side Story" and "The Lion King" also became the priority.

In fact, aside from copyright issues, the adaptation of these plays is absolutely extremely difficult, as you can imagine from "Les Miserables"; and it is meaningless for Renly to perform the original play, because These plays have now lost their novelty and have gradually become tourist gathering places.

Therefore, such voting is too limited and too simple.

According to industry insiders represented by Richard, Shakespeare is the eternal classic.

It's like James McAvoy in "Macbeth" and Mark Reeslang in "Twelfth Night." Every year, Shakespeare's plays are rearranged and reinterpreted. The more classic works, the more difficult it is to adapt, which is a serious challenge for any director and actor.

It is because of this that Renly's interpretation is more and more worth looking forward to.

Without waiting for Renly to respond, Richard couldn't help but express his opinion, "Hamlet, do you think the challenge is too low? But I personally think that it will be very exciting for you to play Hamlet! Last year, John Codd choreographed a whole new version of Hamlet, and I don't know if there's any ideas and inspiration to do it again."

In the face of such an enthusiastic Richard, Rao Renly couldn't resist, "Maybe." He said with a smile, "but not now." The simple words were decisive, there was no room for manoeuvre, and those bright eyes even more A gleam of perseverance that cannot be negotiated.

The ecstatic Richard also felt this powerful will, and the words rolled in his throat for a moment, his expression and eyes dimmed.

Just when everyone thought that Richard would be furious, as an earl, Richard was the one who had the right to speak on any occasion. Let alone confrontation, flattery was not uncommon - the original George Huo That's how it is; now, even if Richard walks away in anger, no one will dare to stop him.

However, Richard lowered his head and shook his head again and again, "It's a pity. It's really a pity. Although I can understand your situation and situation, but... As a true lover of drama, I still hope that you can get it as soon as possible. Back on the West End stage. This is the real actor, and those Hollywood movies are just kid's play."

He sincerely expressed his embarrassment. It's not so much contempt for Hollywood as it's a fervent embrace of the West End.

Renly couldn't help laughing at this sincerity.

Richard raised the pipe in his right hand and took two sharp puffs. He seemed to be venting his emotions. His face was full of loneliness and disappointment, like a little boy who had missed his beloved toy. Finally, he let out a long breath. , raised his eyes again, and looked at Renly expectantly, "I hope that your vacation will not be too long, this is a loss for the audience."

"My pleasure." Renly was flattered by that pure and straightforward affection.

For Renly, it seems to be the norm now, with a steady stream of praise from all over the world, but even so, every time I really feel the joy and the crowd from the audience, I can still feel the butterfly in my chest Fluttering lightly. He will not take all this for granted. Only by paying, there will be rewards; only by hard work, will there be gains.

Richard nodded in a polite response, as if to say, "It's also an honor to be able to express my inner appreciation."

Then, Richard's eyes lit up slightly, as if he had remembered something important, "By the way, to commemorate the first anniversary of the Almeida Theater version of 'Les Miserables', this weekend, I held a small Party. Now that you're back in London, it would be my faux pas to not send out an invitation."

Truly a lunatic.

"If there is a chance, I will definitely attend." Renly politely expressed his courtesy.

Richard showed a meaningful smile and seemed to see through Renly's "official answer", but instead of debunking his words, he further added, "This is a private party, and I only invite real drama lovers. By the way, I've also invited Cameron McIntosh and a couple of great actors from the Queen's version."

There is a message inside and outside the words: he is sincere.

Renly opened his mouth slightly, but before he had time to answer, Richard continued, "Are you still living in Notting Hill?" Every time Renly settled in Matthew Dunlop's private house, it was too early in London. It's no secret. After getting a positive reply, Richard nodded in agreement, "I'll send the invitation."

Then, without waiting for Renly's answer, Richard turned and left.

It came and went in a hurry, and the initiative was always in Richard's hands. Of course, Renly did not fall behind. But it can still be felt that Richard is indeed an outlier among the nobles.
