New York's JFK Airport is as busy as ever, with a constant flow of people and a never-ending rush of people.

Standing in the send-off hall, Andy glanced back at the van parked at the door, and after the Coen brothers said goodbye to Lan Li, they returned to the van - their car was still parked across the street from Lan Li's apartment, and they would take a ride back to the city with Andy, so they didn't leave for the time being.

"Are you sure?" Andy said thoughtlessly, then retracted his gaze to Lan Li.

Even if he didn't tell the cause and effect, he believed that Lan Li would be able to understand it.

Andy could feel that Lan Li really liked the Coen brothers' project, and he exuded excitement and excitement all over his body, and the light in the depths of his eyes could hardly be concealed, but Lan Li finally refused, so Andy asked.

Lan Li chuckled, "No, I'm not sure. But, that's the best option right now. ”

Andy immediately understood what Lan Li meant: he was still reluctant to give up, but he still decided to devote himself to the performance of "Les Miserables" and complete his work dutifully. As an actor, Lan Li takes every job seriously and has never slackened.

So, Andy smiled dumbly and gently tucked his chin to show understanding, "I see." I have a few projects on hand right now, so when the West End performance is over, you can read about it. ”

In the past few months, even in the cold and remote West End of London, there has been an endless stream of invitations, and after the premiere of "Edge of Tomorrow", this trend has reached its peak, and Andy Rogers has become the hottest agent in Hollywood.

Andy has never stopped the action of screening projects and selecting scripts, even if Lan Li is busy with the performance work of "Les Miserables", even if Alfonso Cuarón has impressed Lan Li with his personal sincerity, even if the schedule within this year has been completely filled, but the major film companies have begun to prepare for the 2014 and 2015 projects, and the name of "Lan Li" is among the best in the cast list.

As long as Lan Li is willing to let go of his head, Andy can now arrange all the work schedules for the next three or four years, and the projects waiting in line will not disappear.

This is the real day.

However, even with such a moving project of the Coen brothers, Lan Li was stranded, which also shows Lan Li's determination. Focus on the work of the moment, focus on the next job that is about to start filming, and put everything else aside for the time being.

As an agent, Andy needed to support Lan Li's decision, do everything he could to create a good working environment to ensure that Lan Li could be engaged in the performance without distractions, and then look forward to the success of the Al Misérables show and the successful completion of the Gravity shoot.

"No problem. Lan Li replied neatly, looking at Andy who was standing in front of him seriously, and his heart was clear:

Andy has always spared no effort to support Lan Li's choice, whether it is the ups and downs of the past six months, from the "One Man's Concert" to the performance of "Today's Show", or the selection of works over the years, from the "Love Crazy" starred without hesitation to the "Black Shadow" that was rejected from the door, without Andy's support, Lan Li would not have come to this point.

Fate is really a wonderful thing, if it weren't for Andy's three visits to the thatched house, there might not be Lan Li's prosperity now.

Taking a step forward, Lan Li gently hugged Andy.

It was a courtesy hug of a British gentleman, not an American-style brotherly hug. Despite this, Andy still showed a slightly surprised look, he knew that Lan Li was not a person who was used to hugging.

Then, Lan Li took a half step back and said with a smile, "I think you should give up the diet recipe, the beer belly still shows no signs of disappearing, it is better to enjoy the food." Otherwise, what's the fun in life?"

Following Lan Li's gaze, Andy also lowered his head and saw his round little belly, almost unable to see his toes. Andy couldn't help but let out a low chuckle and looked up, Lan Li had already turned to leave, joining Nathan and Roy as he walked towards the check-in counter.

"Broken leg. Andy said with a smile on his face, wishing Lan Li all the best for his performance in London's West End.

And so it is.

After flying across the Atlantic and back to London, after just a day of rest, Lane Lane quickly threw herself into the rehearsal of Les Misérables, actively recovering and regaining her rhythm, and two days later, she returned to the stage of the Almeida Theatre for another spectacular performance that lasted for 15 minutes with a standing ovation from the audience.

The Times once again exclaimed, "On this stage, the charisma of Ranley Hall is intoxicating. The unique performance texture, radiant and wonderful, truly brings the stage performance art to the extreme. ”

Since its arrival at the Almeida Theatre, Les Misérables has garnered numerous accolades and has continued unabated over time, from script to character, actor to director, the show has truly established itself in London's West End. Although the length of six hours is daunting, the reputation is still attracting avid art lovers.

In the middle of summer, when "Edge of Tomorrow" is in full swing in the UK, the name of Lanli is undoubtedly the most eye-catching focus in this year's summer file, which has also become the best publicity and promotion of "Les Miserables".

Ordinary audiences who had no interest or preference for theatre gradually became interested in "Les Miserables" amid the outstanding word-of-mouth and heated discussions, and flocked to the West End to try to get a glimpse of the acclaimed play, but they were doomed to disappointment—

Because, a vote is hard to find.

Tickets for all the performances of "Les Miserables" have been sold out early, and the reserved seats for each day have also been rushed, and all of them have been sold out in just five minutes after the tickets are opened.

What's even more exaggerated is that every afternoon, before the official start of the performance of "Les Miserables", the entrance of the Almeida Theater is a bustling scene, and the enthusiastic audience desperate for tickets is always the same, willing to repeat every day, even if each time they return empty-handed, but the next day they still come tirelessly to try their luck.

There is no need for ordinary audiences to come and join in the fun, the attendance of "Les Miserables" has been completely full; now, because of the hot screening of "Edge of Tomorrow", the Almeida Theater has poured into a group of onlookers and lively melon-eating people, and when they realize that a ticket is hard to find, the psychology of "scarce is expensive" begins to trouble, and the more they can't see it, the more they want to see it.

As a result, the sound of the additional field began to rise gradually.

This has also caused another media storm. Because it's all incredible.

Not only in London's West End, but also in the theatre market all over the world – but also the opera market, the ballet market, the musical theatre market, the whole high art market – has not seen a call for additional performances for many years.

Of course, if it's a play, like a concert, it's going on a global tour, and it's only going to be three or five performances in a city, so it's still very common to have extra performances. But like "Les Miserables", which is performed in a city for a long time, and it is up to three months, then the sound of the additional performance is indeed a long time gone, so long lost that it is almost a little unfamiliar.

More often than not, marketing teams need to worry about whether a drama will be able to meet the target, say 70 percent, and whether it will be profitable and avoid losing money, but now, the marketing team in Les Miserables needs to worry about short supply.

"Demand exceeds supply", for the drama, it sounds too ridiculous, even a little funny, but it is being played out in real time.

When Lan Li confirmed his participation in the West End performance of "Les Miserables", the media once put forward a bold idea:

Whether it is possible for London's West End theatre industry to benefit from the strong appeal of Blue Rite and welcome a new audience, not to mention a return to prosperity and glory, but at least it may attract some younger audiences, even if only one out of a hundred people remains, is also a positive blueprint for the future of the theatre industry.

The future of the West End is unclear for the time being, but it is certain that after many years, the West End, Broadway, and theatre are once again in the spotlight, and the number of tourists flocking to the West End alone has increased nearly tenfold, which is an incredible leap forward for the entire industry.

It's all so good that it loses its sense of reality.

Not only the audience, but also theater veterans and industry bigwigs from all over the world have arrived in London, walked into the Almeida Theatre, and watched the Blue Rite version of "Les Miserables" in person, trying to find a successful model in it, and then complete the replication in the theater market in their own countries and regions.

They even began to wonder if the possibility of inviting "Les Miserables" to perform in their own countries and regions outside of the West End and Broadway could make full use of the strong appeal of Blue Rite to promote the theater industry.

It may sound like a fantasy, but the West End practitioners will say jubilantly and firmly, no, this is not Alibaba and the Forty Thieves, this is what is happening in the summer of 2012. It's like...... It's as if folk songs are once again making waves on the North American continent.

A miracle is happening.
