Hollywood superstars: Start as a child star

Premiere of “Billy Elliot”

The premiere of “Billy Elliot” is scheduled for January 15 at London’s West End Theatre. Claire still has less than half a month to practice.

As a result, Claire’s time seemed to go back to the spring and summer of last year, where she practiced dancing in the morning and swam in the afternoon. Cultural classes can only be temporarily put aside.

…

January 15, 1998, evening.

A huge poster is posted at the entrance to the Theater Royal in London’s West End. The poster shows Claire’s mug shot, wearing tight training clothes and sweating in a dance studio and boxing ring.

The car Claire was sitting in slowly stopped at the entrance of the theater.

He looked at the huge poster outside the car window and was in a daze. This is my first time. Being a movie actor is really a unique experience.

The car stopped steadily at the end of the red carpet. The red carpet was not long, and there were not many reporters standing on both sides. This is not a commercial blockbuster with a large investment, and lacks marketing and publicity funds.

“Claire, get out of the car! We’re here.” Roxy reminded her, sitting in the passenger seat.

“Okay!” Claire adjusted the collar of her suit. This was his first time wearing such a formal suit. Roxy took him to Savile Row, the famous men’s suit street in London, to get a custom-made suit. Because of time constraints, I didn’t have time to make a fully handmade private order, so I chose a semi-handmade one.

The moment he opened the car door, he silently said to the system in his heart: “Use a [Broadcast Speaker]!”

. This is the rush hour!

Claire stood on the red carpet, wearing a dark blue striped suit and a lighter tie of the same color. The half-length black curly hair is neatly combed. The reporter’s flashbulb began to flash…

“Welcome the star of this movie – Claire Dylan!” the emcee called his name.

The West End of London, which was already crowded with tourists, attracted curious people.

“Wow, who is this? He is so handsome!”

“I don’t know him! Who is he? Which star? There is someone I don’t recognize!”

“Damn it, did you bring a camera? I want to take a picture!”

.. Claire

didn’t know whether it was the [spreading loudspeaker] that took effect so quickly, or whether it was the coincidence of the location that attracted so many free viewers.

More and more people gathered at the entrance of the theater. There were two circles around the originally sparse and somewhat ugly red carpet.

“Look, it’s a BBC staff member. We’ll find out if we go and ask.” ”

Hey, uncle. Who is this person you’re filming?” The person controlling the camera was a bald, middle-aged uncle.

“A bunch of impolite brats!” the cameraman said disdainfully, “I don’t know the name, you can’t read the posters on the wall! Today is the premiere of a movie, we are here for a routine interview…” Obviously, Even the people at the network didn’t really care, there was really zero marketing for the movie. I’m probably waiting to get funding to serve as a judge at a public relations film festival.

“What a rude uncle! Humph~”

“Ignore him, let’s see…is it…called Claire Dylan?”

“Do you know someone named Claire Dylan?” ”

No, I just know Bob Dylan…” ”

Nonsense, I know it too…”

…

Claire didn’t stay long on the red carpet and went directly into the theater. Because he still needs to change into dance costumes, there is a ballet performance before the movie starts.

Claire came backstage and met Teacher Tracy and her dance troupe members whom she had not seen for a long time, some of whom she had worked with on the last film shoot.

“Long time no see, Teacher Tracy!” Claire stepped forward and hugged her.

“Me too, Claire. I’m so happy to see you perform live again!” Teacher Tracy smiled.

“It’s my honor!”

…

The lucky audience members who have won the premiere tickets and the invited media, film critics and other professionals entered the venue and took their seats.

The premiere officially begins.

Ms. Tessa, the producer and host, walked up to the stage and said with a smile: “Before the movie starts, let’s first enjoy Billy Elliot’s ballet performance – the male version of Swan Lake!” There was an uproar in the audience

, There are additional arrangements!

After finishing speaking, the producer Ms. Tessa stepped down and returned to her seat.

The lights in the theater dimmed, and “music~” the familiar melody of Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake flowed out!

Claire puts on a familiar outfit, the same outfit as in the last scene of the movie. He took a deep breath and looked sideways at his partner.

Nod, lift your chest, step out sideways…

and

finish the dance.

The whole audience spontaneously stood up and applauded…”Pa bang bang~” The applause lasted for a long time.

“Oh my God, is this Billy Elliot? He dances so well! It’s really worth coming tonight! Even if the movie isn’t good, I won’t give a bad review! It’s worth it!” The lucky spectators who got the tickets whispered to their friends around them.

“They dance very well, and they are qualified to gain a foothold in London’s art world. But, are the ballet dancers who just danced really the actors in the movie? Where did they find them?” Film critic David Thomson said on the side He wondered while applauding.

Tonight, Adam Cooper, the mainstay of the Royal Ballet, is also invited to attend the premiere. He was curious about how Claire would fare in the movie.

JK Rowling also received an invitation from Roxy to the premiere, and she brought her daughter to watch the movie. After watching Claire’s live performance, I couldn’t help but sigh: “What a professional-level ballet performance!”

…

when the applause slowly subsided. The lights in the entire venue dimmed again. The movie officially begins!

The audience calmed down and adjusted their sitting postures. Get ready to enjoy the audio-visual feast brought by the movie. Film critics also took out small notebooks, ready to record their feelings at any time so that they could go back and write film reviews. This is their job.

Claire also hurriedly changed her clothes, quietly returned to Roxy’s seat, sat down and prepared to watch her first movie.

Claire looked at herself on the big screen, feeling slightly ashamed and afraid to look.

“What’s wrong?” Seeing Claire lowering her head next to her, Roxy asked.

“No…nothing.” Claire couldn’t say it directly. He straightened up, focused on the movie, and watched it intently.

…

The credits of the movie flashed by one by one. Accompanied by the music on the record, Billy danced in the small bedroom, officially appearing in the movie “Billy Elliot”.

He looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar plot on the big screen. Unconsciously compare it with the previous life version in the system. Look at how this movie has changed because of your intervention. For better or worse…

the English accent in the north of England is really awful! Claire sounded a little uncomfortable.
