Renley is not a qualified filmmaker.

For professional producers, they should firmly hold the right to make decisions and initiative in their own hands and control the quality of the finished works. This is true for Harvey Weinstein, Jerry Brookheimer, etc.

But Lanli is not like this now. He is working hard to win more creative space for Damien Chazerre and hand over the creative rights to the director himself; essentially, Lanli, like Damien, they are both artistic creators, not businessmen.

Of course, Renley did not try to become a qualified filmmaker either.

Lanley is relatively one-sided about the current situation in Hollywood. Even if the matter about actors is not specific or detailed enough, it is just heard, and it is left to Andy Rogers for more. However, we still have some understanding of basic common sense. The more fierce the competition, the greater the choice, and it is indeed extremely difficult to make the decision in the end, but it is still possible for art movies.

Lanley hopes that Damien can shoot the "burst drummer" according to his own ideas.

Andrey looked at the smile on the corner of Lan Li's mouth, and gently said that he understood, but it did not mean that he agreed. Although they were friends, they still needed to make different considerations at critical moments.

However, the final decision on what is the right thing to do is not the top priority. The top priority now should be to find a suitable partner to be able to complete cooperation in distribution and production.

Andrei believed that as long as he could find a partner smoothly, the "burst drummer" would definitely be his pocket. He had enough confidence in his personal relationship with Renly, even the six major Hollywood film companies could not match; as for the final decision, they would find a balance point. Now, it depends on how he operates.

No one expected that the local North American continent would be in full swing, but it did not affect Renli's judgment and choice at all. Unconsciously, someone secretly robbed him. I wonder what he would feel after Barry Meyer and Lang Meyer knew about it?

"When will the holiday end?" Andre took the initiative to change the topic and did not continue to discuss it seriously.

"The day after tomorrow." Lan Li stretched, "Please don't remind me of such a ruthless fact. I still want to enjoy the leisurely holidays for the rest."

Andre also complained without any face, "As long as you want, you can take a vacation all the time. The question is, can you hold back your loneliness, okay?"

"It's like you can never endure loneliness, right?" Lanli's answer immediately made Andre glance at it and retorted with disgust, "I thought you were taking a subtle route."

...

When people discuss the similarities between London and New York, a thousand people must have a thousand different opinions in their eyes. For Renley, the bones and blood of these two cities are completely different, but the temperaments they burst out are similar: they always hate, so annoyed, so noisy, but they always make people feel unhateful. On the contrary, after getting used to it, they begin to miss it.

The South Island of New Zealand is so bright and clear, the mint blue sky is high and far, and raise your hands high, as if you can embrace the entire universe; while London is so turbid and chaotic, the boundless gray patches spread out in large areas, the darkness is so dark that it makes people breathless. You can hear the roar of the engine from afar and feel the super high temperature of the crowd.

At the end of the long-distance flight, when he stepped on the ground of Heathrow Airport with his feet, the disgusting and nostalgic feeling once again hit his heart. With a clear gap, Lanli originally thought that he would be unacceptable to the local environment, but in fact he felt a sense of intimacy and slowly relaxed.

In fact, Lanley had never expected that he would return to London so quickly. Even after experiencing the events of Edith and Arthur, he never thought that he thought the holiday would last for a while, he thought life would be more comfortable, and he thought the focus would remain calm for a while.

But plans never keep up with changes. He did not deliberately plan to return, nor did he deliberately avoid going home. When the opportunity came, he naturally took the flight to London.

What's more, the last time I stayed in London was five months ago. Now I'm back in London, I really miss you.

This time, the drama stage in the West End was summoned to return.

Since the cast led by Renli left, John Cod's version of "Les Miserables" has replaced a group of actors and continued to perform at the Almeda Theater, and has achieved success and has been sought after by a large number of audiences.

During Christmas last year, Lanley's version of "Les Miserables" was officially broadcast on BBC TV. Because the complete drama lasted for six hours, the TV station had to broadcast the first and second halfs in two days. Despite this, this successfully triggered a viewership frenzy for viewers. The two days of programs both created the highest ratings and the highest number of viewers in drama programs after the millennium.

Even in the United States is no exception.

In the battle to buy the copyright of TV broadcasting, three cable TV stations and one public TV station joined the competition. In the end, hbo TV station successfully stood out and took over the broadcast of "Les Miserables" in North America with great wealth.

Before the official broadcast, hbo TV launched a series of promotions and publicity, and finally chose to play before the Oscars. Relying on this powerful reputation effect and popularity appeal, the number of viewers in live and replays set a historical record, and triggered a heated discussion frenzy on the Internet.

Generally speaking, when broadcasting on stage dramas, British audiences are far more popular than American audiences, and the two are not even on the same level. However, this time, "Les Miserables" successfully caused waves on both sides of the Atlantic, which is definitely a big deal.

This is not all.

Around New Year's Day in 2013, the United Kingdom and the United States successively released "Les Miserables" DVD discs, and were subsequently released in European countries and regions such as France, Germany and Austria. In a sales craze, the sales records of drama video discs were created on the whole line, and they successfully climbed to the top of the sales rankings in various countries and regions.

This is an unexpected and reasonable result.

Despite this, sales numbers are still eye-catching. You know, with the decline of the West District and Broadway, the sales of drama video discs have also shown a cliff-like dive. Just like movie videotapes and physical music albums, who would be willing to support an authentic drama work?

This time it was different. The "Les Miserables" craze seemed to have no end at all, and it was constantly coming.

But there is support and there is opposition; there is a craze and there is cold water

Many industry veterans said that this is just a curious onlooker effect. In essence, this still cannot improve the overall trend of drama gradual decline. Instead, it may blur the focus because of Lan Li's personal halo, resulting in unnecessary expectations and discussions about drama, and bringing a negative impact on the future development of drama that is difficult to smooth.

But since the new cast of "Les Miserables" was staged at the Almeda Theater, it is gradually changing this idea, with more and more young drama lovers heading to the West Side and Broadway.

Perhaps, they are just because of curiosity and exploration, rather than appreciating elegant art, but at least, Lanli's powerful influence is further permeating, attracting the attention of the younger generation, and after successfully planting the seeds, quietly wait for the power of time to see if they can take root and sprout.

Of course, the attendance of the Almeida Theater cannot be compared with the Queen's Theater version. After all, the six-hour super-length space has scared away many tourists and audiences; but the average attendance of more than 80% is already very rare, and it can even be said to be incredible, and has achieved unimaginable achievements in the past ten years in all aspects.

This is undoubtedly very exciting news for the Almeida Theater and the West End of London, and the enthusiasm of the art creators has been ignited again.

Thanks to the great success of the six-hour version of "Les Miserables", many foundations in the West District have now begun to spend money to support the creation of more independent dramas, and the training programs of young actors have also been active one after another. You can vaguely feel that the vitality of the West District has been revitalized for a long time.

However, the six-hour super long standby performance and the continuous six days of each week are undoubtedly a severe test for the actors' physical strength and energy, and it can even be said to be a hellish temper.

It is precisely because of this that Almeida Theater is preparing to replace the third cast again with a collective reshuffle of the first and second teams in June, the first and second teams, and then continue a new round of performances.

Around this plan, Almeida Theater also prepared commemorations related to the first anniversary of the new version of the play.

Originally, Emma Fiddin hoped that the first cast led by Renli could all return, bringing a visual and auditory feast to the audience on the first anniversary, but the actors' itinerary was really difficult to cooperate with, and such a bold idea could only give up. However, Almeda Theater still made relevant arrangements as much as possible and sent out an invitation letter, actively and enthusiastically inviting the actors to return to the event.

In addition to the incredible success of its first anniversary, "Les Miserables" also ushered in another unique carnival, Oliver Award nomination sweep, once again becoming the unique absolute focus in the industry, setting off an unparalleled wave. The center of the vortex is obviously still Lan Li.

It was precisely because of comprehensive considerations from all aspects that after two months of isolation from the world, Renli appeared again at the Heathrow International Airport in London and returned to the public's sight.
