"Didn't you say you were in Argentina? Why did you come back?" Renly and Andre left the waiting room and got into the golf cart, but instead of using a "caddie driver", Andre sat in the He sat behind the driver's seat and acted as the driver; Renly sat next to him and acted as the passenger with peace of mind.

Andre chuckled lightly, and said casually, "It is rumored that the youngest son of the Hall family is back in London, how could I miss such a good show? I can't wait to take the red-eye flight and make a special trip back. The so-called "return to London" here is not only geographically, but also reappears in the formal occasions of high society.

Renly knew that Andre was joking, but he didn't refute it, but went on with the situation, "It is rumored that the youngest son of the Hamilton family has caused a lot of trouble in Buenos Aires, three The woman made a big fight in the hotel lobby, and someone ran away. I wonder if there are tickets for this good show?"

Andre was not only not shy, but looked over in amazement, "The news spread so quickly?"

Renly pouted, "I'm not the first to know."

The subtext is that news spreads far faster than imagined. People always say that the entertainment industry is the place to gossip the most, and in Renly's opinion, Hollywood is much better than the sanctimonious aristocrats. At least, Hollywood puts everything on the bright side, while the aristocrats are once again being a bitch and holding on to the archway.

"It seems that I didn't go back to the wedding anniversary, which is a wise choice." Andre sighed with lingering fears, which made people laugh.

Renly was surprised, "Didn't you go on this hunt? Eaton called me the day before yesterday, and even he was pulled over this year." Eaton is not good at outdoor sports, he even rides horses It's not exactly fishy, ​​but this year, Eaton had to be present at these social occasions in order to open up the new brand.

"It's his choice." Andre shrugged his shoulders with no sympathy at all. Obviously they all knew that Eaton was forced to attend such an occasion, but it was his own choice to open a new brand. "I went to the hunting ground for two laps, and this year, Henry Dunlop probably won the first prize again. He is so excited at this time of year. Other than that, it was no fun, so I sneaked over. Everyone is whispering, but no one dares to run over, so am I setting an example for them?"

"I'm still expecting that their shame can make me clean for a while. You came here like this, didn't you disturb my work." Renly rolled his eyes and complained silently.

Andrei laughed, "You should really look at their expressions, as if this is a rotten swamp, you can't avoid it, but you are curious about the top orchids hidden in it."

"So when you go back, you'll be Indiana Jones, right?" Renly revealed Andre's true intentions at once, causing Andre to laugh happily.

Without denying, and admitting indirectly, Andre looked calm, "If I said that I came here today, I made a special trip to see the set and see how you're working, would you believe it?" Renly didn't answer, and rolled his eyes Is the best response - a visit to the set? When Andre was in Los Angeles, industry insiders who wanted to invite him to the set were like crucian carp crossing the river.

Andre shrugged helplessly, "I'm serious. I also made a special reservation for English afternoon tea today, and the whole team will come over in a while. You know how troublesome the Ritz is, in order to invite their team Come here, I spent a lot of effort."

The ritz-hotel in central London is a typical traditional high-society hotel. Although it is a five-star hotel, commercial promotion has not been fully popularized, but it focuses on aristocratic experience services. All services here are strictly in accordance with the requirements of the nobility. Even for afternoon tea, every guest must be dressed in formal dress, and the gentlemen must even wear a tie. If the requirements are not met, the hotel has the right to refuse guests to enter.

The afternoon tea at the Ritz Hotel is well-known, and countless people will come from afar for the afternoon tea here. After dressing up, it is just to experience the elegance and grace of a nobleman here; of course, the taste of refreshments is also a must.

Andre raised his chin slightly and deliberately made a "praise-seeking" expression, Renly glanced sideways, "If it's true, then it should be Cridge, not Liz."

Claridge is also a hotel. However, the hotel here is not famous, and afternoon tea is the premier gathering place for celebrities. It is a high probability event to meet real aristocrats here, even those in the British entertainment and art circles. Celebrities also come here for afternoon tea, just to flaunt their status. Of course, service and food, that's Claridge's signature.

Compared to Liz, Claridge is even higher.

Strictly speaking, in fact, the real aristocrats would not choose Liz or Claridge. When they enjoy afternoon tea, they choose occasions like private clubs, or at their own homes. Liz and Claridge are too public and too commercial. However, be sure to choose a place for a public meeting, or a casual place, then Claridge is indeed an option worth considering.

Facing Renly's criticism, Andre was speechless and could only say in a dull voice, "You don't drink afternoon tea anyway." Then, without waiting for Renly to respond again, Andre said, "Why, you don't

Believe me, did I really come to visit the class? After all, we have known each other for so many years as old friends. Renly didn't say anything, just stared straight at Andre, which made Andre lose. "Okay, okay, I actually want to ask you something." "

As they spoke, Renly pointed to the studio not far away, indicating that that was the destination. Andre didn't drive directly, but pulled over and stopped, "I recently received a stage play project, and they asked me if I was interested in investing. You know I've always been interested in this field, movies, stage plays, Television, the whole entertainment system, but I don't know enough about it. I want to ask, are you interested in getting back on the stage?"

"John Codd is looking for you too?" This was Renly's first reaction. The last time John appeared abnormally at the unveiling ceremony of Eaton, Renly did not ask directly, but it could be vaguely guessed that John should be raising funds for his new work.

Andre was stunned for a moment, "No, it's a Broadway project. Why, John found you?" Andre frowned slightly, if it was for funding, Renly was not a wise choice, "However, this No surprise. The economy in the West End is very bad right now, and I've heard before that another foundation has withdrawn its support for West End theatre."

Throughout the world, stage plays are declining in an all-round way. The means and tricks of people's entertainment are becoming more and more complicated. It is really not a thing to be willing to sit down and watch a three-hour or even longer play in the theater. easy thing. The West End and Broadway are some of the most iconic theatre stages in the world, but they are now unsustainable.

From a purely commercial point of view, Broadway is still ahead of the West End of London, New York has always been one of the most popular travel destinations in the world, and the US industry has always been ahead of Europe in the transformation of commercialization and entertainment. It can be said that they have no bottom line and are willing to pay for the benefit, but in turn, their commercial success has allowed the drama industry to continue to extend.

But even Broadway's attendance has fallen by more than half since the turn of the millennium. Now the Broadway shows are all classic plays, such as "Cat", "The Phantom of the Opera", "The Lion King", "Miss Saigon", "Les Miserables", etc. The main audience is no longer theater lovers, but tourists.

From a purely artistic point of view, London's West End has always been at the forefront. In addition to the well-known classic plays that can attract tourists, the West Side releases new plays every year, and the entire creative atmosphere still maintains its vitality. There are even many excellent plays that are bold and innovative, which are further promoted to Tokyo, Seattle, Chicago, Cities such as Berlin and Paris still remain enthusiastic about theatre.

It can be said that the West End continues Europe's admiration and persistence in art. The new repertoires born here are almost twice or even three times that of Broadway, but at the cost of commercial sacrifices. This makes the business situation of the West End difficult every year.

Fortunately, there are still many art lovers in Europe, and many of them are wealthy. They are often willing to set up charitable foundations to sponsor those artists to create. Drama is one of them. In addition, painting, music, Engraving, writing, etc. are also objects of sponsorship.

However, in recent years, the creation of the West Side has also fallen into a bottleneck. There has been no breakthrough in art, and no commercial success. Now the business situation of the West Side is even worse than that of Broadway. If it weren't for the art lovers in Europe who still came to the West End unremittingly and supported them with practical actions, the industry would have been unsustainable long ago.

"What project is Broadway?" Renly retracted his thoughts. A wealthy and leisurely aristocrat like Andre, their dedication to art has always been one of the important driving forces for the development of art.

Andre shrugged, "I just heard about a proposal. I haven't seen the project plan for a while. I heard that your agent is looking for a suitable project on Broadway, so I thought, if you are interested If so, then of course it would be better.”

"Oh, I'm not omnipotent, you should know this." Renly chuckled, he knew the movie very clearly, but the stage play? The memory of the previous life is completely useless, and it can be said that he knows nothing; even in this life, his understanding is very limited.

Andre laughed along with him, and said jokingly, "This is not the Renly I know."
