Renly is not a qualified filmmaker.

For professional producers, they should firmly hold the decision and initiative in their own hands, and control the quality of the finished product. Harvey Weinstein, Jerry Bruckheimer, etc. are all in this way.

But Renly isn't like that now. He is trying to get more creative space for Damien-Chazelle, and give the creative rights to the director himself; in essence, Renly and Damien are both art creators, not businessmen.

Of course, Renly isn't trying to be a qualified filmmaker either.

For the current situation in Hollywood, Renly understands relatively one-sidedly, even the matters about the actors are not specific and detailed enough. They are just heard, and more are left to Andy Rogers to take care of; but the basic common sense is still understood. The fiercer the competition, the greater the room for choice. It is indeed extremely difficult to decide the final decision, but for art films, it is still possible.

Renly hoped that Damien could shoot "Bumper" the way he wanted.

Andre stared at the smile at the corner of Renly's mouth and nodded lightly, expressing understanding, but not agreeing. Although they are friends, different considerations need to be made at critical moments.

However, it is not a top priority for the final decision on how to decide. The top priority now should be to find a suitable partner who can complete cooperation in distribution and production.

Andre believes that as long as he can successfully find a partner, the "Boom Drummer" will definitely be in his bag. He has enough confidence in his personal relationship with Renly that even the Big Six Hollywood studios can't match; as for the final say, they will find a balance. Now, it's up to him to see how it works.

No one would have thought that the uproar in the North American mainland did not affect Renly's judgment and choice in the slightest. Before they knew it, someone sneaked away. I wonder how Barry Mayer and Ron Mayer would feel when they found out?

"When does the holiday end?" Andrei changed the subject on his own initiative and did not continue the serious discussion.

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

Andre also complained shamelessly, "You can go on vacation as long as you want. The question is, can you hold back your loneliness, okay?"

"It's like you can never stand loneliness, right?" Renly's answer immediately made Andre glance at him and retorted with disgust, "I thought you were taking the implicit route."

...

When people discuss the similarities between London and New York, there must be a thousand different opinions in the eyes of a thousand people. For Renly, the bones and blood of these two cities are completely different, but the temperament that bursts out is similar: they are always so annoying, so irritable and so noisy, but always unpleasant, on the contrary, After getting used to it, I started to miss it.

The South Island of New Zealand is so bright and clear, the mint blue sky is high and far, and the hands are raised up high, as if it can embrace the whole universe; and London is so muddy and chaotic, the endless gray swathes Spreading out, the black pressure made it hard to breathe, and the roar of the engine could be heard from a distance, and the ultra-high temperature of the crowd could be felt.

At the end of a long flight, when my feet were on the ground at Heathrow, that disgusting and nostalgic feeling came to my mind again. The clear gap, Ren Li originally thought that he would be unaccustomed to the environment, but in fact he felt a sense of intimacy, and the whole person slowly relaxed like this.

In fact, Renly did not expect that he would return to London so quickly. Even after the events of Edith and Arthur, he never thought that the holiday would last for a while, he thought Life would be comfortable for a while, and he thought the focus would be 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 took the flight to London.

What's more, the last time I stayed in London, it was five months ago, and now I am back in London again, I really miss it.

This time, it was the West End theatre that called Renly back.

Since the departure of the cast led by Renly, John Codd's version of "Les Miserables" has changed a group of actors and continued to be staged at the Almeida Theater, and has achieved success and has been sought after by a large number of audiences.

Last Christmas, Renly's version of "Les Miserables" was officially broadcast on BBC TV, because the full play was six hours long, and the TV station had to broadcast the first half and the second half over two days. Still succeeded in triggering the audience's viewing frenzy. The two-day program both created the highest ratings and the highest number of viewers for drama programs after the millennium.

Even in the US it is no exception.

In the battle to buy the rights to broadcast TV, three cable TV stations and one public TV station joined the competition, and finally hbo TV station successfully stood out and took over the broadcast of "Les Miserables" in North America with deep pockets.

Before the official broadcast, hbo TV launched a series of promotions and publicity, and finally chose to broadcast it before the Oscars. Relying on this strong word-of-mouth effect and popular appeal, the number of live broadcast and rebroadcast viewers both created historical records. and in the network

It sparked a frenzy of debate.

Generally speaking, in the TV broadcast of stage dramas, the popularity of British audiences far exceeds that of American audiences, and the two are not even on the same level, but this time, "Les Miserables" has successfully made waves on both sides of the Atlantic, absolutely Not trivial.

This is not all.

Around New Year's Day in 2013, the United Kingdom and the United States released the "Les Miserables" DVD, followed by France, Germany, Austria and other European countries and regions. The sales record of video discs, and successfully climbed to the top of the sales charts in various countries and regions.

This is an unexpected result.

Nonetheless, the sales figures are still eye-catching. You know, with the decline of the West End and Broadway, the sales of theatrical video discs have also shown a cliff-like dive. Just like movie tapes and physical albums of music, who wants to support a genuine theatrical work?

This time is different. The "Les Miserables" craze seems to have no end in sight, and it keeps coming.

But if there is support, there will be opposition, and if there is a boom, there will be cold water—

Many industry veterans said that this is just a curious onlooker effect. Essentially, this still can't improve the overall trend of the drama's gradual decline. Instead, it may blur the focus due to Renly's personal aura, causing people to have unnecessary expectations and discussions about the drama, and bring difficult to smooth out the future development of the drama. Negative impact.

But since the new cast of "Les Miserables" was staged at the Almeida Theater, this thinking is gradually changing, and more and more young theater lovers are heading to the West End and Broadway.

Maybe they are just curious and exploratory rather than appreciating fine art, but at least, Renly's powerful influence is further infiltrating, attracting the attention of the younger generation, and after successfully planting the seeds, quietly waiting for time strength and see if you can get them to take root.

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

This is undoubtedly very exciting news for the Almeida Theatre and London's West End, and the enthusiasm of art creators is rekindled.

Thanks to the great success of the six-hour version of "Les Miserables", many foundations in the West District have begun to allocate funds to support the creation of more independent plays, and the training programs for young actors have also been active one after another, which can be vaguely felt. , the vitality of the West End has been revived after a long absence.

However, the six-hour long standby performance, as well as the continuous six-day-a-week performance, is undoubtedly a severe test for the actors' physical strength and energy, and it can even be said to be a hellish temper.

It is for this reason that the Almeida Theater is preparing to change the third cast again in June, one year after the premiere of the new version of "Les Miserables" - including the collective wash of the first and second lineup. cards, and then continue with a new round of performances.

Around this plan, the Almeida Theatre has also prepared commemorative activities related to the first anniversary of the new version of the play.

Originally, Emma Fielding hoped that the first cast, led by Renly, could all return to bring the audience a feast of sight and hearing on the first anniversary, but the itinerary of the actors was really difficult. With cooperation, such a bold idea can only be reluctant to give up. However, the Almeida Theater still made relevant arrangements as much as possible, and issued an invitation letter to actively and enthusiastically invite the actors to return to the event.

In addition to the incredible success of the first anniversary of its premiere, "Les Miserables" also ushered in another kind of carnival - sweeping Oliver Award nominations, once again becoming a unique and absolute focus in the industry, setting off a An unparalleled wave of shares. The center of the whirlpool was clearly still Renly.

It is out of a comprehensive consideration of all aspects that after two months of isolation from the world, Renly reappeared at London's Heathrow International Airport and returned to the public eye.
