Chapter 2
Chapter 2: New Life
This is a stage that makes countless people crazy, just because it has a name, called Broadway. Now that the song has ended, the seats under the stage have returned to silence, and the entire theater has become quiet. The quiet Broadway still has its unique charm. The history precipitated on the stage, between the seats, and the years floating in the air make this place full of different charm.
There was only a solitary lamp projected on the stage, shrouded in a slender figure, pulling the elder to grow. Holding a pair of shoes in his right hand, this figure stepped on the stage with bare feet, feeling the softness and faint temperature of the ground. The drooping head and the lightly lifted steps all revealed his reluctance. Under the lazy light, the shadows cast by the eyelashes on the cheeks flickered and blinked twice, and then let out a long breath, as if doing a farewell ceremony.
Standing on the stage was Evan Bell who had just bid farewell to Travie Nunn and returned to the stage. At this time, the audience had already left, and the lights in the theater were all extinguished, leaving only a lonely chandelier on the stage to illuminate the lights for the workers who cleaned up for a while. Evan Bell took off his shoes and stepped on the lake blue stage with his bare feet, full of nostalgia.
For ten years, he has been immersed in this stage for ten years. From entering Broadway at the age of eight to performing on stage today, he has spent no less effort than others. He definitely used his own strength to win today. Cheers, for this, he has a clear conscience.
Evan Bell, to be precise, he also has a Chinese name, Gu Luobei. In terms of age, the thirty-year-old in the previous life plus the eighteen-year-old in this life, he has lived for forty-eight years: this is his second life.
After a car accident, he saw the world was completely different, he went from Beijing to London, he returned from Singles’ Day in 2012 to Singles’ Day in 1982, he came from pure-bred China. Man became an English-speaking Caucasian, and most importantly, he degenerated from a thirty-year-old man into a newborn baby. After reading too many novels and watching TV too much, no matter how stupid a person is, he knows what happened. He is reborn, reborn as a baby.
It is very ironic to say that in the last life, he was in a car accident while witnessing his fiancee’s affair. One was his fiancee who he had been with for ten years, and the other was a good friend he had known for fifteen years. The two seemed to be in love. Lovers chatting, laughing and kissing. Standing across the street, although he was only one street away, he felt that here and there were two worlds. Anger took over his mind, and he rushed up with a single stride. When the car touched his body, he still clearly saw the sweetness on the faces of the two people across the street. Until he died, he didn’t see clearly, what was the expression on the two people’s faces when they saw him in a car accident, gloating? Breathe a sigh of relief? Or regret, sadness?
After his rebirth, he spent his childhood in a strange London. Once, because he didn’t cry or make trouble in the baby, even a little gloomy, his mother Catherine Bell even thought he had a broken brain and worried about him day and night; his brother Teddy Bell was always there for him, Holding his younger brother in his hand, even once because the neighbor’s child called him a mute who couldn’t speak, Teddy Bell beat the child to the brink of blood.
He is very lucky. Although he ended his last life with a tragic ending, this time, he has a mother and brother who love him. At the age of three, he figured it out, and he decided to enjoy life and make up for what he owed in his previous life. He has lived for others all his life. For the sake of his parents, he gave up his musical dreams and took the architecture department; for his girlfriend, he gave up the talented architect who was hard to come by, and became a journalist and freelance writer, making money first. In this lifetime, he has to live for himself, for his hobbies and hobbies, and to live happily and brilliantly. Live like summer flowers and die like autumn leaves.
The name Gu Luobei was named by Catherine Bell. Coincidentally, Catherine Bell was of mixed Chinese and English blood, and “Bei” took the homonym of their surname Bell. His brother’s Chinese name is Gu Zexiong, and “Xiong” means the homophonic meaning of his name Teddy-Bell: Teddy-Bell in English is Teddy-Bell, and the English pronunciation of teddy bear is the same, Teddy-Bear, the whole The world knows that a teddy bear is a cute “bear”. Therefore, Teddy Bell has such a lovely name Gu Zexiong.
After Gu Luobei was born, the only family he knew was his mother and brother. As for my father, my grandparents, my grandparents, I don’t know anything about it. I just vaguely heard from the neighbors that Catherine Bell was originally the eldest lady of Savile Row, but fell in love with her father who had nothing, and then ran away from home with her father, cutting off all contact with the family. As for the protagonist of this vigorous love story, before Gu Luobei was born, he divorced Catherine Bell. The reality finally defeated the ideal. In the face of life and love, the winner is always life.
When Gu Luobei was six years old, Catherine Bell brought her two sons to New York, USA to pan for gold. The inspirational story of a single mother supporting two sons on her own can always bring tears to your eyes. In order to reduce the burden of his mother’s life, Gu Luobei didn’t care about shocking the world, so he wanted to take advantage of the rebirth to make a lot of money. Not all novels are written in this way. After writing a few plays, writing a few hits, shooting a few movies, and messing around in the stock market, they made a fortune.
But after thinking about it carefully, Gu Luobei realized that the ideal is plump and the reality is skinny.
stock? He didn’t know how to fry at all, but he remembered the 1994 and 1998 football World Cup championships. He could bet on football, but unfortunately there was no cost, and he was underage, so he couldn’t make it.
Script? First of all, writing a script is easy to think about, but difficult to implement. This movie is 90 minutes long and has so many lines. He is not a computer, so how can he remember so many lines? Second, he wrote two script outlines, one is the first The 83rd Academy Award winner “The King’s Speech”, said to be an outline, is actually very simple, just a framework; he also wrote the script for the century-old blockbuster “Avatar”, which is relatively detailed. Yes, but not a complete script. Just these two scripts, after tossing him for nearly half a year, and after sending them to several big film companies, they fell into disrepair without any response.
song? This melody can be hummed, but it needs to be composed, but professional training is required to compose the music; and the lyrics must be written, who can? There are not many people in Hyundai who go to KTV to sing and memorize lyrics, at least the songs he remembers now have no lyrics. Finally had to give up.
filming? Even if it is an independent film, if there is no funding, let’s slowly dream, not to mention that he is only six years old.
Therefore, Gu Luobei discovered that novels and TV are deceptive. Everything is said so easily. If you write a few scripts, a big company will come to your door. If you make a few movies, you will be a great director. If you write a few songs, you will be a great director. Swept the world. Fiction is fiction, and it is far from reality.
To insist on the advantages of rebirth, Gu Luobei knows which movies will be popular, which movies will win awards, and also know which actors and singers will become popular in the future, these directional things, because he has served as an entertainment reporter for three years, He had just become an associate editor before the crash, so he still knows it well. But when it comes to implementation, he can’t remember so many details. Therefore, rebirth does not have many advantages. He still needs to rely on his own hands and his own efforts to create a world.
Life is like summer flowers, easier said than done!
Therefore, at the age of eight, Gu Luobei entered Broadway at Wai Wai, on the one hand, to fulfill his dream in his previous life, on the other hand, he hoped that he could use his ability to make money and reduce the burden on the family. Sure enough, on the day of his ninth birthday, Gu Luobei brought the family’s first income, sixty dollars.
The so-called “Broadway Outside the World” literally means that it refers to the periphery of Broadway, the holy land of musicals all over the world. Broadway, Off-Broadway, Off-Broadway, that’s how it came to be.
Off-Broadway is a theater outside Broadway. In the 1950s, off-Broadway became popular due to the antipathy to the commercial atmosphere of Broadway. Off-Broadway is a great place for producers who want to put out experimental, or too avant-garde, shows that Broadway theater owners don’t agree with. As a result, a group of theatrical elites left Broadway, which was expensive to produce, and went to other areas of New York City, such as Greenwich Village, where they used the nearby old churches, abandoned warehouses, and semi-basements as A venue for rehearsals and even performances. These places give audiences a chance to see new acting talent, as well as many experimental plays that Broadway doesn’t identify with. Sometimes it’s better to play on a smaller stage in an off-Broadway theater than a larger-scale theater. Real New Yorkers tend to go to Off-Broadway plays because they know what’s worth watching.
But now Off-Broadway has also stepped into the footsteps of Broadway and embarked on a high-cost road, so there is the birth of Off-Broadway, and its tentacles even extend to Brooklyn and Queens – which were once regarded as New York’s poor Area.
Katherine Bell’s family of three lives in Brooklyn. Gu Luobei’s troupe career started from Off Broadway, entered Off Broadway, and finally broke into the sanctuary of Broadway.
Ten years have really gone by in a flash. Gu Luobei stood on the stage with infinite emotion. He went from knowing nothing about acting, music, and dancing to being proficient today. He has the confidence that he will not be buried and invisible on the star-studded stage of Broadway. .
The reason why he succeeded in challenging the role of Greze Bella this time is because Gu Luobei has a solid foundation and it is a matter of course; also because he is only eighteen years old, his voice is still relatively high, and the part of singing girls will not be too much. A big flaw; and because of his two lives, his understanding and interpretation of this role could not be more real.
Today’s performance can be regarded as a beautiful comma for his Broadway career in the past ten years. Yes, it is a comma. He will definitely come back, because he has fallen in love with this stage.
First update today. New book for collection and recommendation, huh, huh.
