w88 casino News Network (Reporter Wang Tianzhu Photography Xu Guangzi)The orange light enveloped the empty hall, and "Mike was wearing a black windbreaker.WhiteMrs. Gail Sexsmith walked leisurely in the aisles - with bright blond hair hanging down, her soft singing voice echoed in the hall. Rebecca "Malcolm" Naylor stood in the middle of the stage, doing calisthenics briskly. The light guitar sound flowed faintly from behind the scenes - "Banquo" Ellen Mirian was playing the clouds in her heart.
At this time, "King" Mark Prince and "Macduff" Roger Clark walked into the theater chatting. "Macbeth" Martin raised his head and recited verses from "Macbeth" loudly with his rich and penetrating voice.
Nearly an hour until the show, UKTNTThe actors of the troupe have arrived at the audio-visual center and are familiar with the venue in different ways. Watching them makes people involuntarily have all kinds of guesses about their lives off stage. After the performance, the reporter was lucky enough to go behind the scenes and get a closer look at the dramatic acting lives of the actors.
Exploring: What gives life to a performance
The inspiration and instinct of actors are the soul of a drama. Recalling the rehearsals, the actors all attributed their fascinating performances to the instinctive feeling of being an actor.
Martin Christopher, who plays Macbeth
After pondering for only a second, Martin Christopher, with blue and clear eyes, firmly said that it was unconscious inspiration that allowed him to fully interpret Macbeth's inner fear and madness. Offstage, he is gentle and cheerful, completely different from the sinister and panic-stricken Macbeth in the play. However, guided by instinct, the transition came naturally to Martin. Putting on Macwhite's gray and blue jersey, he becomes an individual struggling between ambition and kindness.
Another person who uses instinct to guide his steps on stage is Ellen Mirion. He once played the sinister and cunning Macbeth, and tonight he played the loyal and upright Banquo accurately on stage. “It’s fun to play two completely different characters in the same show. he said easily. "But wouldn't you accidentally say Macbeth's lines?" "When the reporter asked this, he smiled happily. "No, really not. This may be an instinct, I can't explain why. ”
If you say MikeWhiteThe lady used her wind-like passion to blow the spark of Macbeth's ambition into a prairie fire, then Gail Sexsmith used her passion for drama to burn a path for herself in the wasteland of acting. When we first met, her temperament was elegant and charming, just like a beautiful young woman in a small European town. However, as the interview progressed, a passionate and rational Gail Sexsmith appeared in front of the audience. Driven by her love for performing arts, she persisted in drama performance training for a period of25Year. “I have not given up and I will never give up. "She said firmly. "When I make up my mind, few people can stop me. ” In addition, she also serves as a professor of physical training for theater. All this simply because she loves it. Reminiscent of Onstage MikeWhiteThe lady has a mixed personality of passion and fanaticism. Gail's ability to successfully play this role may be due to her own fiery passion.
Tour: The love of performance and hard work clash, who loses and who wins
The actors are like ships drifting on the sea, not knowing whether the next island they land on will have gorgeous tropical scenery or a deserted beach. Their lives are filled with bubbles of uncertainty.
Facing the question of "the impact of drama on life", Allen seemed a little hesitant. Seeing him hesitate for a moment, another actor, Rebecca, laughed like the wind and hurried from one side of the stage to the other. Finally, Allen raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said: "Sometimes a play takes a year to rehearse, sometimes it only takes three or four months. And you never know what the next one will be. ”
“Wouldn’t that be fun?”
“Yeah, exciting. But always out there, always uncertain... you know, sometimes you run out of plays and you have to find other jobs. " At this point, there was a bit of confusion in his voice. The anxiety that is rare among actors was clearly visible on his eyebrows. "Besides, it is really difficult to be separated from my girlfriend for several months before returning to London. ”
Martin Christopher had the same experience. After stepping off the stage that made him famous, he has to worry about daily necessities like ordinary people. "When you don't have a show to act in, you still have to pay bills and rent, so you have to find another job." Then he changed the topic, "But being an actor is really worth it. It makes me travel35countries and had a great time in China6weeks. This ‘reward’ is more important than anything else. ”
In contrast, the lively and cheerful Rebecca almost completely ignores the hard work of touring. “It’s great to be able to travel around the world! "She said excitedly, her eyes particularly bright, "Especially when there is a reward! Speaking of various experiences during the tour, Rebecca and Gale both mentioned the opening ceremony of the International Cultural Festival they saw while walking in w88 casino. “It’s really rare to see so many foreigners gathered together,” Gale said with a smile, “Even in Beijing, we are like a strange kind of people. People would look at us sideways. "And when the reporter pointed out to her that the reason why people were paying attention was that they were attracted by her elegant temperament, she laughed heartily as she was straightforward.
Liu Tingting, the Chinese company manager in charge of this performance
In addition to the hard work of traveling day and night, another difficulty faced by touring actors is adapting to various performance conditions. This year's exceptionally long winter has been a challenge for the actors. A common scene is: the staff in down jackets do not feel warm off the stage, but the actors in summer clothes can ignore the cold on the stage and continue to present exciting dramas to the audience. Indeed, just thinking of Lady Macbeth's thin blue dress on stage made reporters shudder. Perhaps, the love for drama has turned into a heater, bringing irreplaceable warmth to the actors' cold fingertips.
Blooming: The friendship you don’t know blooms
The tour brought enjoyment to the audience and established an unbreakable friendship for the six actors who depended on each other.
“These guys are awesome. "Talking about friends who were traveling together, the smile on the face of Ellen Miriam, who had brown hair reaching her shoulders, appeared and disappeared. It turned out that Ellen's girlfriend of more than three months was supposed to be there21arrived in Beijing on the 16th, but due to the Icelandic volcanic ash filling the skies over many parts of Europe, all flights in London were canceled, making it difficult for lovers to reunite as soon as possible. There is no doubt that this made Allen feel particularly disappointed after reliving the relationship, and the helplessness and sadness between his brows naturally showed. Fortunately, there were five friends who were traveling with him, and their comfort gave Allen a lot of warmth. "Three months of being together day and night have made us a family. When you are in trouble, they are the ones who chat with you and help you." Allen said with a smile.
There is also a unique friendship maintained between actors and audiences. The audience was satisfied with laughter, tears and silence, and their laughter, tears and silence also made the actors taste the pleasure that only performers can understand.
“You hear the roar of applause from the audience, but you don’t know the impact your performance will have on their lives. Maybe this is his first time at the theatre, maybe this is his first time seeing Shakespeare, maybe he will remember this play for the rest of his life. "Martin was particularly emotional when talking about the relationship with the audience.37He watched the first play in his life years ago, and he still remembers the beautiful dances of those actors. Who would have thought,37Years later, that child who once sat in the audience and watched the performance attentively is now performing a classic story on the stage?
This is the acting life of actors: passionate and tender. The actors perform other people's love and hatred in front of the stage, and also perform their own joy, anger, sorrow and joy behind the scenes. For them, life itself is a drama, with joys and sorrows, separations and separations. And whether they play the leading role or the supporting role on the stage, they are always the proudest protagonists in their lives. They have the passion of Romeo, the wisdom of Portia, the grace of Hamlet, and the impulsiveness of Othello. Their temperament and style determine the undercurrent of life and the steps on stage. However, whether on the stage of the theater or on the stage of their lives, they put their heart and soul into the play and interpret every long legend.
