Chapter 1039

Standing in the VIP box, you can have a panoramic view of the turbulent scene of Almeida theater. After the warm applause disappeared, the excitement and excitement still remained in the air, filling the whole space, jumping on the hot skin surface briskly and lively.

The colorful faces and dancing figures are rolling and boiling in the sight, clearly showing the most real and direct feelings of the audience, making people feel the same and involuntarily involved.

He stripped off the senior drama critics of high cold major, got rid of the reporter reports of secondary processing, and personally felt the baptism of shock with his own eyes and inspiration.

Barry Meyer is a businessman and a manager. He has no research or interest in performance, even in high art such as drama; But he still has to admit that it's really a pleasure to watch Langley's performance in the theater, and the power that erupts from every move deeply infects everyone.

However, this play is still too long.

Instead of six hours, it should be three hours, which is the most appropriate. If it can be shortened to two hours, it would be better. At least, for Barry.

After today, he will not walk into the Almeida theater for the second time to watch the "miserable world", nor will Richard Rogers theater, except for business.

As the leader of Warner Brothers, Barry Meyer's perspective and way of thinking are special. Through this stage, what he saw was numbers; Through these audiences, he sees the blueprint and the numbers behind it; After these experiences, what he saw was appeal and appeal, as well as more numbers hidden behind.

At this time, Barry's head was running fast, like a high-speed machine, and gradually outlined the rudiment of the plan.

"Knock", there was a polite and moderate knock on the door of the VIP box. After a moment, he pushed the door open. Then, Barry saw Langley hall, and found Langley hall easily among the people.

At this moment, inside and outside the box, there are a group of celebrities standing in the crowd. Aware of the arrival of the protagonist, they stand up one after another to express their greetings on social occasions.

Emma Fielding, the manager of the theatre, is making an introduction. Barry is not the only big man present today. There are about eight or nine senior executives of Warner Bros. in the UK and Europe, senior leaders of listed companies, chief editors of top media, marketing executives of fashion brands... Standing in the not spacious box, the whole space suddenly becomes narrow and embarrassed.

Nevertheless, Barry's eyes fell on lenley for the first time.

It's not because of familiarity or attention, but because of the temperament from the inside out. It's gentlemanly and elegant, decent and introverted. It's easy to stand out just by the gesture, as if it was born to shine, and the sight can't help throwing in the past.

Hereditary aristocracy.

Most of the time, this term has no substantive meaning for ordinary people, it is just a gimmick of exclamation, "Oh, that person's family is hereditary aristocracy, so... His family is rich?"

They can't really understand that the collision of the two words "hereditary" and "noble" represents the inside information and connotation, which can't be measured by money. At the same time, they can't really buy it with money. This is also the reason why countless celebrities are flocking to the title of noble - this is something they can't buy, and similar things, It's really rare in the world.

Only when we talk, get along and communicate with each other on the ground can we feel the richness and vicissitudes of time and history. Although it is the 21st century, many young people of the new aristocracy have lost their manners and are slowly integrating into social life and keeping up with the times; But for the upper class, that manner is still so charming and intoxicating.

"Good evening." Lanli's step came to Barry's face. There was a trace of surprise and surprise in his sight. It was obvious that he was very surprised for such an encounter. But after the shock, the smile on the corner of his mouth rose slightly and made a light smile. "Mr. Meyer, thank you for coming. I hope the performance tonight won't be too long."

Barry captured the change of lanli's expression, frank and simple. After a moment of stupor, he returned to normal and expressed his greetings in a humorous tone, like a spring breeze; What's more interesting is that Langley still wears Jean Valjean's clothes, but he is not embarrassed and humble at all.

"No matter how long the journey is, we have reached the destination now. No one will care about the anxiety and suffering of the process, but calm down and enjoy the scenery of the destination. I love the view I'm enjoying now. " Barry put his hands behind him, politely closed his jaw, nodded his head and said, with a light smile on his lips.

Blue Li's eyebrow tail is gently a Yang, savoring another layer of meaning behind Barry's words: long. So, the smile bloomed in the corner of the mouth, "what if I do it again?"

This unexpected answer, the meaning of humor is very obvious, which makes Barry's eyes show a trace of fun, happy, can't help laughing, replied, "well, I have to politely refuse." The crisp refusal made both of them laugh.

Then, Barry took the initiative and issued an invitation, "after a while, I'm going to a nearby bar or coffee shop to have a drink and relax. What's the matter? Is there any place to recommend?"

"It's up to Mr. Mayer. Nearby are bars for young people, a glass of beer and a football match, which can ignite the passion of Saturday night. " Before Lan Li's voice fell, he saw Barry's meaningful eyes, obviously misunderstood the meaning of "passion".

But lanli didn't explain further. He continued with a smile, "but if you just want to relax, the bar in the hotel 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's eyes were fixed on Langley, and the deep meaning of his words could not be understood more clearly. "I don't know if you have any plans tonight. As far as I know, the Almeida theater is on a day off tomorrow. How about it? 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, Barry's choice of the night to come to the show was not a random decision.

"Of course, it's my pleasure." Between lightning and flint, Lan Li nodded politely and agreed, "well, I'll see you later." Then, the pace did not continue to stay, in Emma - fielding between the introduction, left Barry - Meyer, toward the next big man to continue to walk.

Before long, Lan Li turned around and left. He just stayed for less than five minutes, greeting each other one by one, but he was graceful. This really left a deep impression on the big guys present.

First of all, on the stage, there was a stunning performance, and then under the stage, there was a proper social etiquette. Different from any other actor, the subtle contrast and the shock of perception collided with each other, forming a unique experience, lighting up the night of Almeida theater.

Presumably, in the next long period of time, this will become the conversation that people tirelessly mention in social occasions.

On the other hand, for Langley, it was just another ordinary night at Almeida theatre. The only special thing was Barry Meyer's visit.

This Warner Bros. leader is definitely the first in the list of Hollywood power. Compared with the reputation of being rich and powerful, his decisive and decisive style is a beautiful scenery. With his own efforts, Warner Bros. has become the first company in Hollywood.

With the "Lord of the rings" series, the "Harry Potter" series, the "Batman prequel" series and the "matrix" series, Warner Bros. has become the largest film company in North America after the millennium.

But in recent years, with these series coming to an end one after another, Warner Bros. immediately appeared the signs of weak succession, replaced by Disney, which relied on the strong rise of Marvel pictures.

Even if it's not a rebirth like Lanley, Hollywood insiders have predicted that in the next few years, the North American market will be a contest between Disney and Warner Bros.

However, people in the industry did not expect that Marvel series and Star Wars series burst out unimaginable power in the hands of Disney, almost reaching the degree of unification, completely changing the territory of the whole Hollywood.

In fact, different people in the industry remind us that Barry Meyer has grasped the trend of the industry for a long time, and they have been trying to dig out new money printing machines, such as "Hobbit" series, Superman series, Batman Series and so on. Unfortunately, Barry mistakenly predicted the pattern of random movies, and the market value of DC Comics has not been able to really dig out, This also led to the confrontation with Disney, Warner Brothers gradually fell behind.

Even so, Barry Meyer is still the overlord in Hollywood.

There is no doubt that this is after Steven Spielberg and Harvey Weinstein, Langley once again came into contact with the industry leaders; But compared with Steven and Harvey, Barry is one of the six leading Hollywood film companies at the helm, and is also the top member of the pyramid who has mastered the whole Hollywood lifeline.

The whole high-level world of Hollywood film industry is slowly opening its door to lenley.

However, lanli is just a simple actor. He is not interested in power and interests.
