At the end of the 20th century, new york East Village was a place where vagrants, drug addicts, drunkards, urban vagrants who made a living by prophecy and down-and-out artists lived together.

In a shabby apartment on the top floor of an old building, there lived two roommates who struggled for art: Roger (Adam?

Behind the scenes: Broadway legend

This film is adapted from the musical "House for Rent", which is a brilliant legend in the American Broadway music industry in the 1990s. Its charm lies in outlining the artist's struggle life and telling a touching love story. In terms of music materials, it broke the traditional Broadway theater model, covering a wealth of music types and elements, from wild and unrestrained nostalgic rock to lyrical folk sketches, from strong rhythm and blues to ethereal gospel music, and even fiery tango ... Larsson regarded Wu Ji Lange as a modern interpretation of the classic Bohemian by Italian opera master Puccini, and put the real life situation and the lives of friends around him on the music stage, thus creating.

As soon as the play came out, it won all American drama awards, including Pulitzer Prize and Tony Prize, and became the most award-winning play in the history of musical. Moreover, since the premiere of/kloc-0 in April, 1996, there have been 5,600 Broadway performances,12,000 global tours and 2 1 national performances. Among them, Broadway grossed more than 360 million dollars and sold more than 7 million tickets; Globally, it has earned more than $654.38 billion at the box office and sold more than 25 million tickets. Its appearance marks the arrival of a new era of Broadway musicals. Unfortunately, Larson didn't see a glorious day of his work. The night before the premiere, he suddenly died of a heart aneurysm at the age of 36.

Shooting tidbits: from abstraction to reality

Compared with the musicals Cat and Phantom of the Theater, Jiwu Rent breaks through the old-fashioned music mode of looking for stories and their expressions in a mythical or historical situation far away from modern times, explores the life of modern people in the form of musicals for the first time, and highlights the attitudes of modern American youth to various social problems and the realistic stories of their unremitting efforts to realize their dreams.

Therefore, no matter the stage or the production cost itself, Wu Ji rented a low-cost route, and the stage setting was simple and clear. The whole stage space is basically composed of steel bars, and several railings are transformed into a real building, depicting the chaos of new york slums with a few simple strokes. However, after being adapted into a movie, this style is obviously not suitable for the big screen. The style of the movie version of Wu Ji Rent is more realistic and comes from the streets of new york.

Except Rosario? In addition to Dawson and other two actors, the other six stars in the film are the original crew of 1996 who performed on Broadway. Actors can pursue exaggeration and boldness in their performances on the stage, put on various postures on the table to emphasize love and freedom, and even incite the audience to shout together to form more effective interaction. However, due to the different shooting techniques and angles, these sensational means are not feasible in the film, except that the hero needs to adapt a lot.
