The Greatest Showman - Chapter 177

[176 Leaving the Manuscript]

“Then, I’d better start with the basic information. What kind of person are you?”

Hearing Gavin’s first formal question, Renly couldn’t help but smile, but he did not directly refute, but seriously He thought, “This is a philosophical question, and I’m still exploring, who am I, and where should I go?”

Gavin immediately realized that there was a problem with the way he asked, and Renly’s words made him laugh. When he got up, looking at the narrow light in Renly’s eyes, Gavin felt that his back started to sweat again, “I mean, everyone knows too little about you right now, whether it’s the Actors Guild or D, there’s very little information about you. Few, I think, we can at least get some basic information.”

“Basic information?” Renly’s voice rose slightly, and he didn’t quite understand the meaning of the question.

Gavin further explained, “On the Internet now, except for your height, weight, and date, other information is blank.”

Renly showed a look of interest, “I thought that was enough. For actors to come Say, do you need any special information? I thought our work was the best business card.”

Gavin couldn’t help but froze for a moment, his expression embarrassed for a moment. He is a reporter for “US Weekly”, and he is used to gossip. It’s their style to conduct interviews in a way, and to explore sex is their style. Now that Renly has suddenly attacked in such a dignified manner, he was a little caught off guard. Fortunately, he was well prepared, and he quickly calmed down.

“That’s what I mean. We don’t have any information about your work at the moment, including your past experiences. Of course, there are more detailed information, for example, we all know that you are British, but your Where exactly is your hometown? Does your bloodline come from a different ethnic group? Your experience as a child, as well as your experience growing up, as well as your color, pupil color, etc.”

Hearing Gavin’s question, Renly couldn’t help but wonder Laughed, a little ridiculous, and a little funny, “You mean, does anyone really care about these details? I thought, America is a country of immigrants, Hollywood is embracing actors from all over the world, and no one will care about these trivialities. Trivia. Besides, I’m an actor, not a rugby player.”

Gavin could feel the sarcasm in Renly’s words, but he didn’t panic, “Don’t you know? Recently, you have really created a lot of miracles, and the discussion about you in the Yahoo community has never stopped; However, there is really too little information about you so far, all netizens are actively expressing their opinions, all the issues I just mentioned are topics that people discuss.”

Ren Li pursed his lips and nodded slightly. He nodded, but had no intention of answering. From Renly’s point of view, the nuanced information didn’t matter at all, and he had no plans to become a model.

After Gavin finished his long speech, the room suddenly fell into silence, which made Gavin more and more nervous, subconsciously wiped the sweat from his hands, and looked down at the question list he had prepared, “Then if you participate in an audition, , how would you introduce yourself?”

“Good morning, my name is Renly Hall, I’m 20 years old, I’m auditioning for the role of Paul Conroy today, I’ve prepared a show, can I start now? ”

After listening to Renly’s answer, Gavin choked up and was speechless. There was nothing wrong with Renly’s self-introduction, but he didn’t know how to answer. Then Gavin saw the smile on the corner of Renly’s mouth, and he burst out laughing. Obviously, if we continue to follow the original interview method, then today’s exclusive interview time will be wasted.

After thinking about it, Gavin simply put the list of questions back on the table and completely abandoned the original plan, “From ‘Pacific War’ to ‘Buried Alive’, people have given a lot of praise for your performance, many people Guessing, you are an actor from a traditional academy, is that so?” The

interview finally raised a standard question, “Yes, I graduated from the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London and accepted a full two-year academy. Education.” Renly didn’t respond modestly to Gavin’s compliments, but replied frankly and confidently, “During my studies at the academy, I interned in the West End of London for about a year, and after graduation, I came to New York to explore off-Broadway. It took me a while until I got a chance to play ‘War in the Pacific.’ So yes, I did come from a traditional academy.”

“West End? Off-Broadway? For a young man like you, it’s rare to be able to calm down and immerse yourself in a stage play.” Gavin was a little surprised.

As we all know, most British actors will continue to polish themselves in stage plays, but many young actors are often confused by the flowers and applause of Vanity Fair after coming to Hollywood. That Renly chose New York over Los Angeles is an interesting fact in itself.

“In the very beginning, it was the performance task of the academy, but standing on the stage to perform, the feeling is very special, and before you know it, you will become one with the character and truly feel the charm of the performance. “Renly had a look of interest on his face, and you could tell his eyes flashed with excitement when he mentioned the performance.” After filming ‘The Pacific War’, I went back to New York, and once again I’ve had a very fulfilling time in off-Broadway performances.”

“From ‘Pacific War’ to ‘Buried Alive’, there is a time gap between New Year’s Eve, are you all performing on Off-Broadway?” Gavin revealed a surprise. This is the real accident. After all, Renly has already cooperated with top big names in “War in the Pacific”. After the shooting, he can still maintain his normal heart and return to Off-Broadway and it is not Broadway, it is true People were impressed, “So, what’s the name of the play? Are there any famous works?”

“No, no, no.” Renly smiled brightly and shook his head, looking very relaxed, “I participated in several plays They are all experimental works, and one of them is from Columbia University, don’t mention the name, and I can’t even find relevant information on the Internet.”

No wonder. This explains the reason, mobilizing all netizens and not being able to dig out more information.

“What I remember most is the performance in a basement.” Renly’s expression showed a thoughtful look, and the corners of his relaxed mouth rose involuntarily, “There can only be a maximum of thirty people there, and during the performance that day, the audience was only There were a dozen people, but the play mobilized a total of 23 people. That is to say, our actors were even more than the audience. Later, actors who did not perform tasks all sat down and pretended to be audiences. applaud.”

Renly himself couldn’t help but smile, but Gavin showed a stunned look, “But that kind of performance experience is really special. Because these audiences are not high-level intellectuals on Broadway, they are just pure drama lovers or They are boring audiences, so their reactions are very direct, and they can often feel their emotions during the performance.” Renly couldn’t help chuckling, which made Gavin look puzzled, “At the end , I simply walked off the stage and invited the audience to join us in our performance, and the performance that day was really interesting.”

Gavin was really dumbfounded. On the surface, it seemed that Renly was a gentleman who followed the rules. The traditional British abstinence/sexual style; it is completely incompatible with things with civilian temperament such as Off-Broadway and underground theaters. But when you think about it, there is a huge difference between Renly’s two roles so far, which not only shows Renly’s ambition as an actor, but also his drive to push the envelope.

“I can’t imagine such a picture, but I can imagine your joy and happiness.” Gavin couldn’t help but exclaimed, “Then you must have been uncomfortable for the past period of time, right? In between, suddenly All the spotlights are on you, which is obviously a huge change from the previous life.”

“Actually, before Toronto, I didn’t feel too real.” Renly said honestly, “I can still go out on the street normally. , you can go anywhere freely, and occasionally some viewers can recognize me, but they can’t call me by my name. So, overall, I feel okay.”

Looking at Renly’s calm face, Guy Wen shrugged, “I don’t know about the rest, but for the media reporters, everyone is very lively. Now in the hotel corridor, there are at least thirty reporters waiting for the opportunity to interview you. I am the number one today. ”

I guess the Emmys might still have some weight.” Renly’s teasing made Gavin laugh out loud, and the next question came out.

“Since you won the Emmy Award, you have been the focus of discussion, and some people on the Internet even wondered if you have a deep background in the entertainment industry, just like Emma Roberts.” Gavin finally asked the first gossip, and couldn’t help but He was a little excited, which reminded him of the first exclusive interview he got after he became a reporter. He was young and excited.

“Haha.” This was Renly’s first reaction, after thinking about it seriously, he couldn’t help laughing again, “I’ve been praying for this day with my fingers crossed, but obviously, I’m missing a bit of luck. ”

But, after the Emmy Awards, why did you choose to perform on the street? This is really surprising. Many people think that it was pre-staged.” Gavin’s questions began to become sharp, gradually revealing sharp.

“If they want to think so, it’s their freedom.” Renly unexpectedly did not defend, but shrugged calmly, “Although I don’t know, shooting a street performance video and uploading it to YouTube, this What help does it have for my actor career; but it is my honor to be able to entertain netizens.”

Lan Hall’s upright attitude made Gavin speechless, he thought about it, and asked aggressively, “So you mean , your family really doesn’t have an acting background?”

“If there is, so what?” Renly asked back without any evasion, and Gavin was choked.
