One Thousand and Thirty Six 1 Heart 1 Intention

New York's JFK Airport is as busy as ever, with people coming and going, and the turbulent footsteps never seem to stop.

Standing in the drop-off hall, Andy glanced back at the van parked at the door. After the Coen brothers said goodbye to Renly, they returned to the van - their car was still parked across the street from Renly's apartment. Will take a ride and go back to the city with Andy, so I haven't left for the time being.

"Are you sure?" Andy said thoughtlessly, then withdrew his gaze and looked at Renly.

Even if he didn't talk about the cause and effect, he believed that Renly understood it.

Andy could feel that Renly really liked this project of the Coen brothers, and his whole body exuded excitement and excitement, and the light in the depths of his eyes could hardly be concealed; but Renly refused after all, so Andy did it. There is such a question.

Renly chuckled. "No, I'm not sure. But, that's the best option right now."

Andy immediately understood what Renly meant: still reluctant in his heart, but decided to devote himself to the performance of "Les Miserables" and complete his work dutifully. As an actor, Renly takes every job seriously and never slackens.

So Andy laughed dumbly, and gently closed his chin to express his understanding, "I see. I still have a few projects on hand. After the performance in the West End, you can read it again."

Long before the Oscars, projects that offered to cooperate with Renly had been endless; in the past few months, even though Renly was located in the cold and remote West End of London, there was still an endless stream of invited projects; After the premiere of Edge of Tomorrow, the trend reached its peak, and Andy Rogers became the hottest agent in Hollywood.

Screening projects and selecting scripts, Andy never stopped, even though Renly was busy performing work on "Les Miserables", even though Alfonso Cuaron moved Renly with his personal sincerity, even though the schedule within this year has been completely The queue is full, but the major film companies have already started to prepare for the projects in 2014 and 2015. In the waiting list of actors, the name of "Renly" is at the top.

As long as Renly is willing to let go and nod, Andy can now arrange all of Renly's work schedules for the next three and four years; and the projects waiting in line will still not disappear.

This is the real sun in the sky.

However, even such a moving project of the Coen brothers, Renly reluctantly shelved, which also shows Renly's determination. Focus on the current job, focus on the next job that is about to start shooting, and put everything else aside for the time being.

As an agent, all Andy needs is to support Renly's decision, to do everything in his power to create a good work environment, to ensure that Renly can focus on the show; then, looking forward to the success of "Les Miserables" on Broadway , looking forward to the successful completion of the shooting of "Gravity".

"No problem." Ren Li answered succinctly, looking at Andy who was standing in front of him seriously, his heart was translucent:

Andy has always spared no effort to support Renly's choice, whether it's the ups and downs in the past six months, from "One Person's Concert" to "Today's Show" performance; From "Love Crazy" to "Small Shadow", it would be impossible for Renly to get to where he is today without Andy's backing.

Fate is really a wonderful thing. If it hadn't been for Andy's scrutiny at the time, there might not be Renly's prosperity now.

Taking a step forward, Renly gave Andy a soft hug.

It's an English gentleman's courtesy hug, not an American brotherly hug. Despite this, Andy still showed a slightly surprised look. He knew that Renly was not a person who was used to hugging.

Then, Renly took a half step back and said with a smile, "I think you should give up the diet recipe. The beer belly is still showing no signs of disappearing. It's better to enjoy the food. Otherwise, what's the fun in life?"

Following Renly's line of sight, Andy also lowered his head and saw his chubby little belly, he could barely see his toes. Andy couldn't help laughing in a low voice, raised his head, Renly had turned away, joined Nathan and Roy, and walked towards the check-in counter.

"Broken leg," Andy exclaimed with a laugh, wishing Renly all the best for his performance in the West End.

The same is true.

After flying across the Atlantic and returning to London, Renly took a day off and rehearsed for Les Misérables, actively recovering and regaining his rhythm; two days later, Renly returned to On the stage of the Almeida Theater, a wonderful performance was presented again. The audience stood up and applauded for 15 minutes, which lasted for a long time.

"The Times" once again exclaimed, "On this stage, Renly Hall's personal charm is intoxicating. The unique performance quality, radiant and wonderful, truly brings the stage performance art performed to the fullest.”

"Les Miserables" has garnered numerous accolades along the way since it landed at the Almeida Theatre, and with time, it has grown unabated, from script to characters, from actors to directors, and this show is truly in the West End of London Stand firm. Although it is daunting to say that it is six hours long, its outstanding reputation still attracts avid art lovers.

In the midsummer season, when "Edge of Tomorrow" is in full swing in the UK, Renly's name is undoubtedly the most eye-catching focus in this summer's season, which has also become the best publicity and promotion of "Les Miserables".

Those ordinary audiences who have no interest or preference for drama, gradually became interested in "Les Miserables" amid the outstanding word of mouth and the focus of heated discussions, and flocked to the West District to try to spy on the highly acclaimed drama. True face, but they are destined to be disappointed——

Because one vote is hard to come by.

A real vote is hard to come by! The pre-sale tickets for all performances of "Les Miserables" have been sold out early, and the reserved seats are also looted every day. They are all sold out in just five minutes after the tickets are issued. Even on the black market, the higher the price. The more and more outrageous ticket hype is also priceless, and no one is willing to sell tickets in their hands.

What is even more exaggerated is that every afternoon, before the performance of "Les Miserables" officially starts, the entrance of the Almeida Theater is full of lively scenes. Even though he came home empty-handed each time, he came tirelessly the next day to try his luck.

There is no need for ordinary audiences to come and join in the fun, and the attendance rate of "Les Miserables" has been completely full; now, because of the popular screening of "Edge of Tomorrow", the Almeida Theater has poured into a group of crowds of melon eaters. When they realized that it was hard to get a ticket, the mentality of "rare is more expensive" began to play a role, and the more they couldn't see it, the more they wanted to see it.

As a result, the sound of the additional field began to gradually emerge.

This also sparked a media storm again. Because it's all so incredible.

Not only the West End, but also the theatre market all over the world - as well as the opera market, ballet market, musical theatre market, the entire high art market, I haven't seen a call for more performances for many years.

Of course, if it's a play, like a concert, it's on a global tour, with only three or five performances in a city, then the sound of extra performances is still very common. However, like "Les Miserables", it is a long-term performance in a city, and it lasts for three months, so the sound of the extra performance is indeed a long time, and it is almost unfamiliar after a long time.

More often, the marketing team needs to worry about whether the attendance rate of a drama can reach the target, such as 70%, and whether it can make a profit and avoid a loss; but now, the marketing of "Les Miserables" What the team needs to worry about, however, is that supply is in short supply.

"In short supply" sounds ridiculous and even hilarious for a drama, but it's actually happening right now.

At the beginning, when Renly confirmed to join the "Les Miserables" West End show, the media once put forward a bold idea:

Is it possible for the theatre industry in the West End of London to benefit from Renly's strong appeal and usher in a whole new audience, not to mention the return of prosperity and glory, but at least it may attract some younger audiences, even if it is Only one person in a hundred people will stay, which is also positive for the future blueprint of the theater industry.

Now, the future development curve of the West End is not known for the time being, but what is certain is that after many years, the keywords such as West End, Broadway, and drama have once again become the focus of people. Just the number of tourists pouring into the West End has increased This is an incredible leap forward for the entire industry.

Everything is so beautiful that it loses its sense of reality.

Not just the audience, but theater veterans and industry leaders from all over the world have arrived in London, walked into the Almeida Theater, and watched Renly's version of "Les Miserables" in person, trying to find a successful model. Then complete the replication in the theater market in your own country——

They even began to think about whether the possibility of inviting "Les Miserables" to perform in their own countries and regions outside the West End and Broadway could make full use of Renly's strong appeal to push the theater industry forward.

It may sound like a fantasy, but the West End practitioners will beam and say firmly, no, this is not Alibaba and the Forty Thieves, this is the summer of 2012, and everything is going on. It was as if... as if the ballads were making waves on the North American continent again.

Miracle is happening.
