Standing in the VIP box, you can have a panoramic view of the turbulent scene of the Almeida Theater. After the warm applause disappeared, the excitement and excitement still remained in the air, filling the entire space, briskly and lively on the surface of the hot skin. jumping.
The faces with beaming eyebrows and the dancing figures are rolling and boiling in the sight, clearly showing the most real and direct audience feelings, making people feel the same and can't help but get involved..
Strip away the cold and professional senior drama reviewers and get rid of the secondary processing of reporter reports. Use your own eyes and your own inspiration to personally experience this shocking baptism..
Barry Meyer is a businessman and a manager. He has no study or interest in performance, nor even any study on high arts such as drama; but he still has to admit that watching Renly's performance live in the theater , this is indeed a kind of enjoyment, the power bursting out from every move deeply infects everyone.
However, this play is still too long.
It's not six hours, but three hours. This is the most appropriate. If it can be shortened to two hours, that would be even better. At least, that's the case for Barry..
After today, he will not walk into the Almeida Theater to watch this "Les Misérables" for the second time, nor will the Richard Rogers Theater, of course, if it is business, the exception will be.
As the head of Warner Bros., Barry Meyer has a special perspective and way of thinking. Through this stage, he sees the numbers; through these audiences, he sees the blueprint and the behind the blueprint. numbers; after these experiences, he saw the appeal and appeal, as well as more numbers hidden behind them..
At this time, Barry's mind started to work quickly, like a high-speed machine, and he gradually sketched out the prototype of the plan..
“"Knock, knock." There was a polite and restrained knock on the door of the VIP box. After waiting for a moment, he pushed the door open. Then, Barry saw Renly Hall, and he easily found Renly among the crowd. -Hall.
At this moment, the box was bustling inside and outside, and a group of celebrities were standing crowdedly. Realizing the arrival of the protagonist, they all stood up and expressed the etiquette greetings of social occasions..
Theater manager Emma Fitting is making introductions like a fish in water, and Barry is not the only big boss present today. Senior executives of Warner Bros.'s UK and European divisions, senior leaders of listed companies, editors-in-chief of top media, and fashion brands Marketing executives... there were about eight or nine people standing in the small box, which was not very spacious. The whole space suddenly seemed cramped and awkward..
Despite this, Barry's eyes immediately fell on Renly..
Not because of familiarity or attention, but because of the temperament that exudes from the inside out, gentlemanly and elegant, decent and restrained, just the demeanor of his hands and feet, he easily stands out, as if he was born to shine, and his eyes can't help but change. projected in the past.
Hereditary nobility.
Many times, this term has no substantive meaning to ordinary people. It is just a gimmick to sigh, "Oh, that person's family is a hereditary noble, so... his family is very rich."？”
They simply cannot truly understand that the two words "hereditary" and "noble" collide together, which represent heritage and connotation, which cannot be measured with monetary figures, and at the same time, it is also truly impossible to buy with money. This is also The reason why countless celebrities are eager for noble titles is that they cannot buy them, and similar things are really rare in the world..
Only by truly talking, getting along, and communicating face to face can we feel the richness and vicissitudes accumulated by time and history. Although it is already the 21st century, many young people of the emerging aristocracy have lost this manner and are slowly Integrate into social life and keep up with the times; but for the upper class, that kind of demeanor is still so charming and intoxicating.
“Good evening." Renly walked in front of Barry, and there was a trace of surprise and surprise in his eyes. He did not hide it. It was obvious that he was extremely surprised by such an encounter, but after being stunned, the smile on the corner of his mouth rose slightly. He chuckled softly and said, "Mr. Meyer, thank you for coming. I hope tonight's performance will not be too long.".”
Barry caught the change in Renly's expression. It was frank and simple. After being stunned for a moment, he returned to normal, and expressed his greetings in a humorous and ridiculing tone, like a spring breeze. What's even more interesting is that Renly is still wearing Ran- Arang's clothes don't look embarrassed or humble at all..
“No matter how long the journey is, it has now reached the end. No one will care about the anxiety and suffering in the process, but calm down and enjoy the scenery at the end. I like the scenery I am enjoying now." Barry put his hands behind his back, He politely retracted his chin, nodded in greeting, put a slight smile on his lips, and said.
Renly's eyebrows slightly raised, and he tasted another meaning behind Barry's words: long. Then, a smile bloomed at the corner of his mouth, "What if we do it again?"？”
Such an unexpected answer, and the meaning of the joke couldn't be more obvious, which made Barry's eyes show a hint of amusement, and he felt happy. He couldn't help but laugh happily, and replied, "Then, I have to politely refuse." The blunt refusal made both of them laugh out loud..
Immediately afterwards, Barry took the initiative and sent out an invitation, "In a moment, I'm going to a nearby bar or coffee house to have a drink and relax. How about it? Do you have any recommended places?？”
“Then it depends on what Mr. Meyer wants. There are some young people's bars nearby. A glass of beer and a football match can ignite the excitement of Saturday night." Before Renly finished speaking, he looked Looking at Barry's meaningful look, he obviously misunderstood the meaning of "passion".
But Renly did not explain further, and continued with a smile, "But if you just want to relax, the bar in the hotel where you are staying should be a good choice..”
“What if you want to find a relatively quiet place to have a good conversation? Let's talk about business." Barry looked at Renly with piercing eyes, and the meaning of his words was very clear. "I don't know if you have any plans tonight. As far as I know, the Almeida Theater is closed tomorrow. , how about you, would you like to enjoy a glass of whiskey with me, an old American, tonight?.”
Today is Saturday, the last show of the week. Obviously, it was not a random decision for Barry to choose this night to come to watch the show..
“Of course, it's my honor." In the blink of an eye, Renly nodded politely and agreed, "Well, I'll see you soon." Then, he didn't stop any further, and left with Emma Fedding's introduction. Barry Meyer, moving on to the next big guy.
Not long after, Renly turned around and left. He only stayed for less than five minutes, greeting each other simply and gracefully. This really left a deep impression on the big guys present..
First, he gave a shocking and wonderful performance on the stage, and then he presented a proper social etiquette of advancing and retreating off the stage. Different from any other actor, the subtle contrast and the shock of perception collided with each other, forming a unique Experience, Light Up Tonight at the Almeida Theater.
Presumably, for a long time to come, this will become a topic that people will tirelessly mention in social situations..
For Renly, on the other hand, it was just another ordinary night at the Almeida Theater. The only special thing was Barry Meyer's visit..
The head of Warner Bros. is definitely at the top of the Hollywood power rankings. Compared with his reputation for being rich and wealthy, his decisive and decisive style of acting is a beautiful sight. With his own to support Warner Bros. as the number one company in Hollywood.
With the "Lord of the Rings" series, "Harry Potter" series, "Batman Begins" series, and "The Matrix" series, Warner Bros. became the film company with the largest market share in North America after the turn of the millennium. No two.
But in recent years, as these series have come to an end one after another, Warner Bros. suddenly showed signs of being unable to continue, and was replaced by Disney, which relied on the strong rise of Marvel Studios..
Even if they are not reborn like Renly, Hollywood industry insiders have foreseen that the North American market in the next few years will be a strong showdown between Disney and Warner Bros..
However, industry insiders did not expect that the Marvel series and the Star Wars series would burst out with unimaginable power in the hands of Disney, almost reaching the point of unifying the country and completely changing the entire landscape of Hollywood..
In fact, different industry insiders reminded that Barry Meyer has grasped the trends in the industry early, and they have been trying to dig out new money printing machines, such as the "Hobbit" series, Superman series, Batman series, etc., but unfortunately However, Barry misjudged the pattern of comic book movies and failed to truly tap the market value of DC Comics. This also led to Warner Bros. gradually falling behind in the confrontation with Disney..
Despite this, Barry Meyer is still a dominant player that cannot be ignored in Hollywood..
There is no doubt that this is the second time Renly has come into contact with industry bosses after Steven Spielberg and Harvey Weinstein; but compared to Steven and Harvey, Barry is one of the top six in Hollywood. As one of the leaders of a major film company, he is also the top member of the pyramid who controls the lifeblood of the entire Hollywood. His weight is naturally incomparable..
The entire high-level world of the Hollywood film industry is slowly opening its doors to Renly.
However, Renly is just a simple actor. He really doesn't have much interest in power and interests..
