Chapter 1037

Kennedy Airport in New York is as busy as ever, with people coming and going, and the turbulent pace never seems to stop.

Standing in the drop off hall, Andy looks back at the van parked at the door. After the Coen Brothers bid farewell to lanli, they return to the van. Their car is still parked across the street from lanli apartment. They will take a free ride to return to the city with Andy, so they haven't left for the moment.

"Are you sure?" Andy said a word without thinking. Then he looked back at lanli.

Even if he did not tell the cause and effect, he believed that Lan Li could understand it.

Andy can feel that lanli really likes this project of the Cohen brothers. His whole body is full of excitement and excitement, and the light in his eyes can hardly be concealed; But lanli finally refused, so Andy asked.

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

Andy understood what Langley meant when he was young: he was still reluctant to part with his heart, but he decided to devote himself to the performance of "les miserables" and finish his work dutifully. As an actor, lanli takes every job seriously and never slackens.

So Andy, with a dumb smile, gently retracts his jaw to show that he understands, "I see. I still have a few projects on hand. You can read them after the west end performance

As early as before the Academy Awards ceremony, the projects that actively expressed their hope to cooperate with lenley have emerged one after another; In the past few months, even though Langley was in the cold and remote west end of London, there were a lot of invited projects; After the premiere of "tomorrow's edge", the trend reached its peak, and Andy Rogers became the hottest agent in Hollywood.

Andy has never stopped selecting projects and scripts. Even though Langley is busy performing in "les miserables", even though Alfonso Caron has moved Langley with his sincerity, and even though the schedule of this year is completely full, major film companies have begun to prepare projects for 2014 and 2015, which are on the waiting list, The name of "lanli" is among the best.

As long as lanli is willing to let go, Andy can arrange lanli's work schedule for the next three or four years; Moreover, the waiting items will not disappear.

Like the sun at its best, this is the real like the sun at its best.

However, even if the Cohen brothers were such a moving project, lanli was stranded, which also showed lanli's determination. Focus on the current work, focus on the next job that is about to start shooting, as for other things are temporarily put aside.

As an agent, what Andy needs is to support lanli's decision and try his best to create a good working environment to ensure that lanli can concentrate on the performance; Then, I look forward to the success of the performance of "les miserables" on Broadway and the successful completion of the shooting of "gravity".

"No problem." Lan Li answered, looking at Andy standing in front of him, his heart was clear

Andy has always spared no effort to support lanli's choice, no matter in the past six months, from "one person's concert" to "today's show"; It's still the choice of works of cooperation over the years, from "crazy love" to "dark shadow" who has been turned away. Without Andy's back support, lanli could not have come to this stage.

Fate is really a wonderful thing, if not for Andy's three visits to the cottage at the beginning, there might not be lanli's sunrise now.

Taking a step forward, Langley gives Andy a gentle hug.

It's a British gentleman's polite hug, not an American brother's hug. Nevertheless, Andy still showed a slightly surprised look. He knew that lanli was not a person used to hugging.

Then, lanli stepped back and said with a smile, "I think you'd better give up your diet. The beer belly still hasn't disappeared. It's better to enjoy the delicious food. Otherwise, what pleasure is there in life? "

Along with blue Li's line of sight, Andy also lowered his head, saw his round tummy, almost can't see the toes. Andy can't help laughing in a low voice. He looks up. Langley has turned to leave, joined Nathan and Roy, and stepped towards the check-in counter.

"Broken leg." Andy said with a smile, wishing all the best for Langley's performance in the west end.

The same is true.

After flying across the Atlantic Ocean and returning to London, after just one day's rest adjustment, Langley quickly put into the rehearsal performance of "les miserables" and actively recovered his state and rhythm; Two days later, Langley returned to the stage of Almeida theatre and gave another wonderful performance. The audience stood up and clapped for 15 minutes.

The times once again exclaimed, "on this stage, Langley Hall's personal charm is intoxicating. The unique performance quality, brilliant and wonderful, really brings the stage performance art to the extreme. "

Since landing at Almeida theatre, "les miserables" has won numerous praises all the way, and with the advance of time, it has increased continuously. From script to role, from actor to director, this play has really established itself in the west end of London. Although the full time of six hours is daunting; But the outstanding word of mouth still makes the fanatical art lovers flock to it.

In the midsummer, when "tomorrow's edge" is in full swing in the UK, the name of Langley is undoubtedly the most eye-catching focus of this year's summer program, which has also become the best publicity and promotion of "les miserables".

Those ordinary audiences who have no interest in drama gradually become interested in "miserable world" in the outstanding public praise and hot discussion. They rush into the west side to try to get a glimpse of the true face of this highly praised drama, but they are doomed to be disappointed——

Because, one vote is hard to get.

It's hard to get a real vote“ All the pre-sale tickets for all the performances of "les miserables" have been sold out early, and the reserved seats for each day have been looted. Within five minutes after the ticket was issued, all the tickets have been sold out. Even on the black market, the more and more outrageous ticket speculation has no market, and no one is willing to sell their own tickets.

What's more, every afternoon, before the performance of "les miserables" officially starts, the door of Almeida theater is full of bustling scenes. The enthusiastic audience who are eager for tickets are always happy and enjoy it. Every day they go back empty handed, but the next day they still try their luck tirelessly.

There is no need for ordinary audiences to join in the fun, and the attendance of "miserable world" is already full; Now, because of the "tomorrow's edge" show, the Almeida theater is swarming with a group of onlookers. When they realize that it's hard to get a ticket, the mentality of "the rarity is the most precious" begins to haunt them. The more they can't see it, the more they want to see it.

As a result, the noise began to rise gradually.

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

It is not only the west end of London, but also the drama market all over the world - Opera market, ballet market, musical market and the whole high art market.

Of course, if a drama, like a concert, is on a global tour, and there are only three or five performances in a city, then the sound of additional performances is very common. But like "les miserables", it's a fixed long-term performance in a city, and it's as long as three months, so the sound of the extra performance is really long lost, and it's almost strange.

Most of the time, the marketing team needs to worry about whether the attendance rate of a drama can reach the target, say 70%, and whether it can make profits and avoid losses; Now, however, the marketing team of les miserables needs to worry about the fact that supply exceeds demand.

"Supply exceeds demand" sounds ridiculous and even funny to the drama, but it's really on at this time.

At the beginning, when lanli confirmed to join the west side performance of "les miserables", the media once put forward a bold idea:

Whether the drama industry in the west end of London is likely to benefit from the strong appeal of Langley and welcome a new audience, not to mention the revival of prosperity and glory, but at least it may attract some younger audiences, even if only one of the 100 people remains, which is also of positive significance for the future blueprint of the drama industry.

Now, the future development curve of the west end is not known, but it can be determined that after many years, key words such as west end, Broadway and drama have become the focus of people again. Just the number of tourists pouring into the west end has increased nearly ten times, which is an incredible leap forward for the whole industry.

Everything was so beautiful that it lost its sense of reality.

Not only the audience, but also senior figures and industry leaders from all over the world have arrived in London, walked into the Almeida theatre, watched the "les miserables" version of Langley in person, tried to find out the successful mode, and then copied it in the drama market of their own countries and regions——

They even began to think about the possibility of inviting "les miserables" to perform in their own countries and regions outside the west side and Broadway, and whether they could make full use of the powerful appeal of lenley to promote the progress of the drama industry.

It sounds like a fable, but practitioners in the west end of London will say, no, it's not Alibaba and the forty thieves. It's what's going on in the summer of 2012. It's like... It's like ballads are making waves on the North American continent again.

The miracle is on.
