Just days earlier, Andy Rodgers had reminded Roy Lockley that Barry Mayer had left New York for London; Roy and Renly then brought it up.

The reason is very simple, the cooperation of "Gravity" is still in full swing.

Although, as CEO, Barry was not involved in the negotiations, and more often, he was in charge of the overall situation as the helmsman, rather than concerned with the progress of a particular project; but at such a critical juncture, Barry's whereabouts still caused concern. Andy's attention.

In particular, Barry's destination is London. Of course, there are countless possibilities in London, and Andy didn't make a fuss or take it seriously, just reminded Roy.

Renly didn't even care, though, he didn't even remember whether it was three or five days ago. The performance of "Les Miserables" is the focus of all Renly's attention now. Even "Gravity" has to stand aside for the time being, and it is far from the time to divert attention.

Today, Renly saw Barry at the Almeida Theater; furthermore, Barry sent an invitation to talk, even a rookie who is not familiar with the world can smell the unusual breath at this time, let alone Renly. .

The speculations in my mind for a while began to surge. Renly had to take two deep breaths, gradually calm down, and try to avoid disturbing his thoughts as much as possible before the interview; Barry's purpose and purpose are not known for the time being, and Renly is alone here thinking about it, which will only get himself into in endless passive.

In an orderly manner, Renly still followed the usual procedure of removing makeup, changing clothes, and tidying up, and then left the theater. However, today I couldn't relax completely. At midnight, there was an important interview to be completed.

There was still a large audience at the back door of the theater. Renly communicated with the audience, took photos and signed autographs without hesitation. The direction of the street took a step, and a dim interior light came on, guiding the direction.

Renly greeted Nathan Press not far away, indicating his target, before walking towards the black Aston Martin.

The door opened from the inside to the outside, and Barry Mayer, who was sitting in the back seat, came into view, smilingly waiting for Renly to arrive.

After Renly greeted politely, he entered the back seat, and before the door was closed, Barry's voice rang in his ear, "Does every actor every night have to take so long after the show is over? No crew to pick up the slack? Or does it vary based on the gender of the actor or the weight of the show?"

It seems like a joke, but it can be clearly felt that Barry is expressing strong dissatisfaction, and he has been waiting impatiently.

Renly laughed dumbly, and the smile calmed down with a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth, showing a sincere expression, "Sorry, please forgive me for being late, I think a glass of whiskey will come in handy at this time."

Without arguing or explaining, after expressing sincere apology, with a little humor, changed the subject and entered the topic, Barry's serious expression showed a smile again, and his chin was invisibly closed, "It seems that this is the case. I met a fellow man."

Then, Barry chatted about whisky, as if the rebuke just now didn't exist at all.

For a big guy like Barry, he didn't care what the drama was all about, and naturally he didn't care why Renly was late, he was just venting his dissatisfaction. Rather than gushing about how the backstage of a theater actually works, a sincere and simple apology is the best response.

Slowly, the car stopped by the side of the road, and a waiter dressed in a tuxedo ceremoniously greeted him, opened the door, politely invited Barry and Renly to get out of the car, and then escorted the two into the bar in front of them. .

This is a retro jazz bar, with a different era theme every night, recreating the golden years of the 1930s and 1960s; unlike the pioneer village, it only plays jazz, piano, saxophone and Horns, those melodies that have gradually disappeared in the long river of history, have regained a different kind of vitality in such a space.

Pioneer villages on the other side of the Atlantic, trying to restore the glory of the golden age, had to open their arms to music genres such as folk, rock, bluegrass, etc., while selling a lot of beer, and even welcoming tourists from all over the world; but here The quiet corner of the hotel still has a pure jazz bar, which survives tenaciously and stubbornly, as if time will stop here forever.

Such a small difference is actually the gap between the United States and Europe, and it permeates life and culture in all aspects.

The lazy and vigorous jazz melody, along with the step-by-step pace, seems to be witnessing the turning of time little by little, and finally settled in the 1930s of the last century, just after the First World War and the Second World War. Before it started, the people who escaped from the dead cheered and celebrated recklessly. They were drunk and dreamed of dying. They were certain that the war was gradually in place, and they squandered their lives without reservation.

The atmosphere of being intoxicated and infatuated with money makes people slowly sink into and reluctant to think about Shu.

"God, the British do enjoy themselves, don't they?" After taking a seat on the bright-brown leather sofa, Barry saw that the dress had become three-dimensional.

The retro-style girl from the 1900s walked into the private room, and the illusion of time and space was becoming real. "Wait, I remember, old Woody seems to have a movie, and this is what it feels like to shoot."

"That's Paris, this is London. But, yes, Woody Allen made a film that travels through time and returns to the golden age." Renly nodded affirmatively, and they said "Midnight in Paris" "; then, Renly looked up at the girl and said with a smile, "Two glasses of whiskey, and another glass of lemon soda."

Barry just sat there quietly, quietly admiring Renly's every move. That natural aura was still deeply imprinted in his mind and could not be erased.

For Barry Mayer, Renly Hall is also a series of numbers, numbers that represent interests. The so-called personal charm, acting skills, and audience pursuit are all different ways of presenting numbers.

In the past two years, Warner Bros. is going through a transition period, or a period of slow ending after the peak of glory. The "Harry Potter" series is over, and the "Batman Prequel" series is also over. If Warner Bros. If they want to continue to dominate the North American market, then they need to support a brand new series to become the company's ace project.

dc comics, this is obviously the first choice of Warner Bros., they hold all the adaptation rights of dc comics, this is an endless treasury, waiting to be tapped.

Especially this summer, after the "Avengers" completed a frenzied bombing, the potential of the comic book movie has been unquestioned, and the future development of Warner Bros. has become more and more clear. To this end, the company held several meetings before and after to discuss the adaptation and foreshadowing of dc comics.

Barry seriously considered inviting Renly to play Batman, which is a real thing, and industry rumors are not chasing the wind. Even if it's not Batman, or Superman, or The Flash, or Green Lantern, all in all, Barry is considering the possibility of Renly being a superhero.

However, after "Edge of Tomorrow" swept the box office in a devastating manner, Barry changed his mind: inviting Renly to play a superhero was a waste.

Referring to the casting and planning of Marvel movies, including Robert Downey Jr. and Scarlett Johansson, when they were invited to perform, they were not the top players in the industry; Yu is a rookie actor through and through. What really attracts audiences to superhero movies is not the actors, but the heroes they play.

Now Robert Downey Jr. is the best proof.

After taking off Iron Man's armor, Robert's box office appeal is almost close to zero. What the audience wants to see is a loose/sloppy/unruly, windy/flowing/suffering/suave Iron Man, instead of trying to continue the same performance routine. Robert, who has never been able to make a breakthrough.

In other words, Disney built the Marvel brand, not an actor brand. In 2017, not long in the future, Disney began to slowly brew the replacement of actors. Just like the "007" series, after the actor who played James Bond is replaced, the series of movies can still achieve great success.

DC comics and Marvel comics, in essence, should present the same routine.

However, Warner Bros. is a little different.

Compared with the development and operation strategies of other companies, Barry deeply believes that "payment equals return", big investment and big return, and the top star effect is bound to be worth the money. This is not just a strategy, but more of a belief, or superstition, or even paranoia.

Therefore, in the operation of Warner Bros. projects, Warner Bros. has never been soft-hearted in the large investment projects of more than 150 million yuan, and no one can beat it when it comes to spending money; similarly, star directors such as Christopher Nolan , or a star like Johnny Depp, Warner Bros. is always more forgiving and generous.

In 2017, Johnny Depp was caught in a domestic turmoil, and many fans were reluctant to hope that Johnny would quit the filming of "Fantastic Beasts 2"; but Warner Bros. still insisted on leaving Johnny, causing a storm of public opinion . This is just one of the direct examples of Barry Mayer running Warner Bros.

In the Batman and Superman reboots, Barry is still leaning toward bringing in big-name actors, if he can.

But, not Renly.
