"Well, Boss Wu and Director Guo are all on the scene? Teng Huatao, he still has face. Ji Ming held his mobile phone and laughed for a while: "Speaking of which, "Earth" was quite unpopular at the beginning, those who rejected the project at the beginning, those who were unwilling to invest, and even withdrew their capital, which were intertwined, as if as soon as we succeeded, they were all slapped in the face." ”

Yang Ruyi also smiled on the phone, looking very pleasant: "But as soon as the celebration banquet is held, the face will pass, that's it, and the three divisions will not be able to judge." ”

Ji Ming nodded: "You'd better have time to watch the film too, in case you return to China when the time comes, you can't push it off, and you have to see what kind of quality the film is." To be honest, although Director Guo has also made a youth film, he is young and unstereotyped, and his enthusiasm for making science fiction is not a fraud. Teng Huatao is an old oilman, and I see that he said that he has been concentrating on production for many years, but it doesn't seem to delay him in the middle to do something else, and he is a producer or something, when the time comes, in science fiction films, there will be a bunch of seven, seven, eight, eight, and eight, the kind of love line he is good at, but the world deduction and plot logic are not strong enough, and this film is not like a four. ”

Yang Ruyi responded, in fact, she didn't need to watch it herself, "Fortress" must have all kinds of viewing parties, and it hasn't started yet, so when the time comes, find a few familiar media personnel and film critics to cross-ask, and the situation will be about the same.

"On the side of "Nezha", the light will be raised to July 26th, and there will be a media viewing meeting on the 10th, and the first wave of feedback should come out at that time, and the first round of screenings will start on the 13th......"

Guangguang still chose the previously determined way, to promote the evaporation of word-of-mouth through screenings, obviously there is still some confidence in the quality of the movie - also, it is estimated that the box office can be put to 600 million animated films, no confidence is unlikely, plus the summer file is more friendly to cartoons after all, and the children are on vacation.

"If I haven't gone back on the 10th, it should be about the same on the 13th. ”

"Okay, I see. ”

After talking about the musical again, Zhang Jie is still continuing to do work, in addition to the main creator, of course, there are a lot of transactional work, Cultural Square has contacts and experience in this area, and she is the main operator, which is to help Ji Ming save a lot of things - professional things, or to find professional people.

"What's the weather like in London?"

“...... Are we going to socialize and hang up again?"

"Isn't it abrupt to hang directly? Yang Ruyi laughed dryly: "It seems that you feel pretty good, and you can't hold back your English and are about to pop up." ”

And then it hung up abruptly.

Chu Qing came out after blowing her hair, and saw Ji Ming looking at his mobile phone indescribably: "What's wrong?"

Ji Ming shook his head: "The team is not easy to bring." ”

After the two arrived in London, the gentleman introduced by Alice, Italian and British, was called Marcelo - this name is very disgusting, and the one who took away Ji Ming's actor at the Cannes Film Festival is also called Marcelo, and the Italians will not take another name. However, this Marcelo was very enthusiastic, not only helped Ji Ming and Chu Qing buy a lot of theater tickets that needed to be booked in advance, but also helped him contact some rehearsal theaters, which he could go in and have a look.

After getting along for more than a day, I used domestic thinking to understand this Marcelo, probably a mixed circle - that is, he is not very bullish, but he can catch up with cow beepers, and different cow beepers communicate with each other through him. His ticketing company also runs this way, and has some connections with many cinemas in London, especially in the West End.

Wow.

Alice really introduced him to a snake head.

That's great.

Obviously, Marcelo also attaches great importance to this Chinese upstart, perhaps because of the Cannes award, or because of his good reputation in Italy, or because he has some precautions for the Chinese market...... In any case, he received Ji Ming with the standard of receiving VIPs - saying that during his time in London, at any time and in anything, he could try his best to help.

In fact, buying tickets is already a big busy.

If you just want to see a few plays in the West End, you only need to prepare pounds, but if you are interested in those blockbuster plays, such as "The Phantom of the Opera" at the Queen's Theatre, "The Great Tragedy of Sondheim", "Les Miserables", "The Lion King" at the Lyceum Theatre, this Lyceum Theatre is not the "Lyceum Theatre" directed by Lou Ye, but their English names are actually the same, and they were also built by the British in Shanghai.

You need to buy tickets in advance, otherwise even if there are still tickets available, they are the third and fourth floors close to the ceiling, or the kind of corners and corners.

"Are you leaving?"

"Let's go. ”

Ji Ming wore a mask - he didn't wear it before, because he didn't plan to go to popular scenic spots, but he didn't expect to be recognized, not only tourists, but also some Europeans, he did have a little fame in Europe, so he still wore a mask today.

"What can you do when your husband is famous all over the world in the future?"

“...... Leonardo, Brand Pitt, Robert Downey Jr., aren't they still alive and well? ”

"Ah," Ji Ming leaned on Chu Qing intoxicated: "It turns out that you have such high expectations for me, you have to say it, how do I know if you don't say it, you are just too shy." ”

I don't know if it's illegal to beat people in London.

......

Her Majesty's Theatre, very classical on the outside, very small on the inside.

If you don't go to the scene, you can't imagine why it's so small, especially if you have watched the stage play in many well-equipped theaters in China, you will feel that - this stage, this theater, these seats, are like children's versions, there is no separation between the seats, and if the spine is not very good, I am afraid it will not be very comfortable when you watch the half-time play. And even if you're not sitting in front of you a particularly tall person, it may block your view.

But when the performance officially started, Ji Ming found that it was indeed the exclusive theater of "The Phantom of the Opera", the design of the stage, the excitement of a large chandelier passing over the heads of the audience on the second floor, the smoothness of the change of scene was almost smooth, there was no stagnation at all, and the theater pattern of vertical elevation and horizontal narrowing made most of the audience almost integrate into the repertoire, because the distance was really close, with Ji Ming's position, the subtle expressions of the actors on the stage could almost be seen.

In addition, live bands, amazing singing, skilled and free performances...... Ah, yes, yes.

"The Phantom of the Opera" is the most famous musical theater work even in China, but many people don't really know about it, but have only heard the name - its story is actually very simple, it is a triangular relationship between the genius but ugly "Phantom", actress Christine, and theater owner Rohr. An ugly, sensitive and talented person, that designation is not able to marry a daughter-in-law smoothly, not to mention that there is a rich and handsome competition, so you have to be a demon, the story is carried out in this round of demons, and in the end it is not complete, although Christine said that she can ignore his ugliness, but the phantom "found his conscience", moved by love, let Rohr leave with Christine, and he disappeared without a trace, leaving only a mask.

There are many stories of this kind of ugly ghost falling in love with beautiful women in Europe, similar to Quasimodo in "Notre Dame".

The plot that is easy to understand and familiar to the audience is actually one of the key reasons for its longevity.

Ji Ming found a lot of Chinese tourists, many tourists came to the West District to check in, especially the Queen's Theatre's "Phantom of the Opera" is the most famous, seeing a lot of Chinese here, is expected, he waited and waited, and then left.

"How?"

"The music is great," Chu Qing's eyes sparkled, "I really wanted to join the band just now." ”

Ji Ming looked at her helplessly, maybe the professionals would have more angles, but it would also be a lot less fun, whether it was Chu Qing or him, it was inevitable that he would not be able to fully devote himself to enjoying the entire repertoire. Often, he wonders if the Phantom's voice is not "ghostly" enough, whether Rohr is too naïve, and, of course, constantly admires the choreography and scheduling.

"But I don't think you're going to sing worse than they do. Chu Qing suddenly praised her boyfriend.

Ji Ming couldn't laugh.

Whether it is "The Phantom of the Opera" or "Cats", such a work that has been performed for a long time, the cast team is very large, many of them are up-and-coming backbone actors, and those musical theater actors who have reached the peak cannot meet the intensity of this kind of performance - so the "Phantom of the Opera" they watched today, of course, the actors are also very good, but if you want to say how much higher than the current Ji Ming, there must be none.

"I think you have a point. And I don't think you're playing the violin any worse than the violinist in the band. ”

Chu Qing nodded matter-of-factly.

Oh, this is a male and female couple.

For Chu Qing and Ji Ming, the musical is really a kind of art form that fits the professions of both sides at the same time, one listens to music, many classic sounds from the last century and the last century, and the other watches the performance, which is completely different from the Mandarin and Renyi stage style, the kind of free, unique, even casual, casual performance, gave Ji Ming a lot of inspiration and greatly expanded his concept of the stage.

stage, there can be more possibilities.

So the two of them watched the play twice a day in London, and even brought a small theater to the high frequency, and they didn't feel tired at all, but every day there were new sparks born in discussions and thinking.

Until Marcelo came to take them to the Fortune Theater to "visit the class".

"Oh, you've been to so many places?" Marcelo saw the "West End Theater Map" in Ji Ming's hand, which was full of the names of major theaters and plays, as well as many red ticks, plus some labels:

Well sung.

The actor has a good performance.

The theatre was excellent.

The band is slightly inferior.

The story is complex, but the structure is very clear.

"Professional. Marcelo was amazed: "Maybe you can write a column for a magazine, or write some on the Internet, a lot of tourists like to read this and choose their own destination." ”

Ji Ming made a huge tick in the "Fortune Theater": "I am looking forward to today's trip." ”

"London will not let anyone down. ”

"Or will the straight guys?"

“......”
