Chapter 9 The Reason for Helping Him

Michael Crawford, the leading actor of "The Phantom of the Opera" premiered in 1986, the first generation of Phantom, the winner of Tony Award, Oliver Award and other international awards, because of his outstanding performance, he was honored by the Queen of England, which is well deserved international star.The Phantom played by him and Christine played by Sarah Brightman are known as the immortal golden combination, and the prosperity of "Phantom of the Opera" was opened by them.Since the golden combination, generations of phantoms have been born. However, Michael Crawford's phantom has never been surpassed, and it is the eternal best in people's minds.He's a must-read for any would-be Phantom actor.

Michael Crawford was Frank Wilson's idol.It is precisely because he saw the Phantom played by him by chance when he was 16 years old that Frank fell in love with this role deeply and longed to be on the stage as a Phantom one day.

Michael Crawford participated in the recording of "The Phantom of the Opera". Frank has collected no less than ten records, listened to it countless times, and is familiar with it.

That's why he lost his composure in shock when he heard Vogt's voice!

He seemed to see a younger version of Michael Crawford...

It's incredible!

You know, Michael Crawford was already 45 years old when he played the Phantom. Years of precipitation and years of rich performance experience have made Michael Crawford's Phantom burst out with amazing charm. The Phantom's loneliness, darkness, and pride , Affectionately interpreted vividly.

But a young 17-year-old with the shadow of Michael Crawford's Phantom?

Where did his depth and heaviness tempered by the years come from?

He had only been in the drama club in high school... Could it be that there are so many geniuses in this world?It has to be said that Frank was deeply hit.

"Wonderful performance!" Jerio and Angelina hugged, nodded to Frank, and looked at Vogt with interest: "Unbelievable! Little guy, have you studied drama? Don't talk about the school drama club again." set!"

Angelina and Frank both looked at him, it should be said, everyone looked at him.

Everyone is familiar with drama, and Vogt's performance has fully explained the problem.

"I'm not lying..." Vogt spread his hands innocently. He was indeed not lying. All his acting experience in this life came from the Oxford University Drama Club.But seeing everyone's unbelieving eyes, he also knew the crux of the problem, and didn't intend to explain in detail, so he could only say: "Well, I was only seven years old and started to know the script of "The Phantom of the Opera" by heart." This is also another fact.

Everyone showed the realization of "as expected", obviously understanding that Vogt started studying drama at the age of seven.If he is really 17 years old, then he has been studying for ten years.With a combination of talent and a decade of study, it's no surprise that he's going to perform so well.

Frank also secretly heaved a sigh of relief. He felt that he was really crazy. Just now, he really thought that someone could have such an outstanding performance just because of the high school drama club.

"I haven't heard of you on Broadway..." It's not that Jerry is boasting. He is familiar with the famous actors on Broadway and off-Broadway. But he had never heard of the name Vogt.

It shouldn't be!At Vogt's age and talent, he couldn't possibly go unnoticed.

"I'm not a theater actor," Vogt said.

"How is it possible?" You started studying drama at the age of seven but didn't get into it?

I always feel that the more I talk, the more I can't explain clearly, Vogt said haha: "I haven't graduated yet, and my family has opinions..."

This reason is still reasonable, and everyone believes it for the time being.Only Matt looked a little weird, but he didn't say anything.

"It's a pity that you don't become a drama actor!" Many famous Broadway actors have been cultivated since childhood. They have accumulated popularity and experience, gradually become popular, and even moved from Broadway to Hollywood, becoming superstars with both fame and fortune.Vogt has such good conditions but did not take this path, it really makes people feel reckless.

"So are you ready to debut now?"

"You sing so well!"

"Ah, why don't you join our troupe..."

"Are you really only 17?"

Everyone buzzed around Vogt, terribly curious.

"I lost," Frank said suddenly.

There was a moment of silence.Well, in fact, everyone is so excited and enthusiastic, not only because they are really interested in Vogt, but also because they want to expose the competition between Frank and Vogt just now.After all, the results of the competition are obvious to all. Vogt's performance is indeed higher than Frank's. Frank is a stubborn and self-respecting person, and he is not really bad. Now that he has learned his lesson, let him bow his head and admit defeat. It doesn't seem necessary either.The most important thing is that Vogt obviously just wanted to help him, and he didn't care about winning or losing at all.Everyone followed his will.

I didn't expect Frank to be stubborn, but he was not someone who couldn't afford to lose, so he took the initiative to speak up.

Vogt was unexpectedly patient with him: "I have no other intentions, please don't take it to heart."

Frank was silent for a while, and said stiffly: "I'm willing to admit defeat, I will try my best to do what you want..." Try to forget the role of phantom and work hard to moveon.

Vogt's eyes became distant for a while, and he nodded: "I believe in you."

Frank's tense face eased slightly, and he quickly said: "Don't waste your talent...I'm sorry for wasting your time, but we should rehearse the new play as soon as possible, right?" The last sentence is to Jerio of.

Jerio smiled, gave Vogt a grateful smile, and clapped his hands: "Okay, everyone, listen to Frank, don't surround our new friend anymore. If you scare him away, you will lose more than you gain !"

With this episode, the rehearsal atmosphere of the troupe is much better than before.

While taking a break, Matt saw Vogt sprawled over the wide open shutters, looking languid and dreamy, with a cigarette in his hand.

Considering Vogt's age, Matt walked over without hesitation.

When he got closer, he realized that the cigarette hadn't been lit, but was just held in Vogt's mouth for fun.

Vogt held the cigarette between his slender fingers and hung it on the window sill: "They gave it to me secretly, I don't smoke."

"Are you okay?" Matt asked.Before today, he thought that Vogt was a simple good boy who ran away from home for his ideals, but after watching Vogt's performance, he felt that things were not that simple.Isn't Vogt's ideal to be a professional model?Well, Vogt's modeling career seems to have been cut off because he offended a big shot, so he had to find a new way out?drama?Matt was confused anyway.Vogt suddenly became like a great mystery.Matt's unscrupulous words also became a little more cautious.

Vogt raised his eyebrows, did not speak, and looked past Matt to the people who were rehearsing on the stage, or rather, to Frank.

"Why help Frank?" Matt followed his line of sight and asked puzzled.We lived together for more than a month. Although we get together less and leave more, Matt also sees that Vogt is not a person who likes to meddle in his own business.Frank had been very unfriendly to Vogt since he came to the theater, but Vogt was not angry at all, and was very tolerant and patient with him, even performing plays he didn't like very much for him.

Yes, not much.Although Vogt's plays are not inferior to those of professional actors, and when he stands on the stage, he will be extraordinarily dedicated and dedicated, but he does not seem to love plays very much, but rather repulses them.

Therefore, both Angelina and Jerio laughed when someone suggested that Vogt join the troupe.

Vogt was a little surprised by Matt's sharpness. He met his clear green eyes. This young man with rough nerves who was easy to fool was a little silly. He had a little more aura about the drama-related personnel and had an almost instinctive intuition.

"He reminds me of someone..." Vogt put the cigarette in his mouth, took a puff, and exhaled slowly.Even though the cigarette was not lit, his every move was extremely expressive.

Perhaps because of the strange environment and the strangers around him who knew nothing about his background, Vogt suddenly had the desire to confide in those memories that he had kept deep in his heart since he was born in this life.

The man he called his father in his previous life, a failed actor, devoted all his obsessions to his only son, completely depriving him of his life.A child, from the beginning of his understanding, his life is completely filled with music, drama, movies and so on.The rebellious period has come, and the resistance to his father's high-handed control is earth-shattering. He does everything he can to destroy the conditions for him to become an actor, alcohol, tobacco, drugs, and chaotic sex life. His voice is ruined, his appearance is ruined, and his reputation is ruined... ... He destroyed his father's obsession, and he was very happy.A sudden car accident took away his hated father. Witnesses said that when the car hit him, he remained motionless, as if intending to commit suicide...

Vogt didn't understand why he would turn into a baby when he opened his eyes again, a strange country, a strange language, a strange race...

His talent for acting from an early age shocked his relatives.But when his parents thought he might become a musician or actor in the future, he strongly opposed it.He hates it!But when asked about his ideals, he was speechless.Besides being an actor, what other talents are worthy of his praise?But he rejects being an actor from the bottom of his heart...

Reject from the bottom of my heart!

Vogt stared at the cigarette between his fingers, feeling a little ironic.She clearly rejects her, but she subconsciously doesn't smoke, drink, or take drugs. She even controls her sex life to a limited extent and never messes around.Such self-discipline, even the old-fashioned father who has exhausted his patience with him kicked him out of the house, and the family members are very assured that he will not "learn bad".

Frank Wilson is like a cross between him and that man: failure after all the passion, stubbornness, self-delusion, snarky, not so bad but always acting obnoxious...

He just needs a suitable step to free him from deep-rooted obsessions.

Just like... him.
