The Greatest Showman - Chapter 178

[177 Misfortune Comes Out of Your Mouth]

Regarding the street performance after the Emmy Awards, Renly can explain that the situation is not complicated, and it can be explained in a few simple sentences. But is it necessary?

As a public figure, living under the spotlight, every move will be analyzed under the microscope by the public. Newcomers like Renly are fine. If they are big stars like Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt, they may have a bad voice. If you are hoarse, you have to explain that you are not indulging/excessive/excessive, but just a cold. If every trivial thing had to be explained to the masses, life would truly be endless.

What’s more, many times, even if it is explained, the public will not buy it. People always believe what they want to believe.

The entertainment industry, the spotlight, dealing with the media… These are all new to Renly, and he has no experience to learn from; but two lifetimes have taught Renly one thing, if you are constantly being swayed by the opinions of others, then yourself Sooner or later you will get lost. So Renly wouldn’t explain, and didn’t want to.

Taking 10,000 steps back, as Renly said, “If there is, so what?”

Gavin was speechless. There are countless second-generation stars in the entertainment industry. Because of their parents, many second-generation stars have Surrounded by the spotlight since birth, it seems logical to enter the entertainment industry after growing up, so what happens after the family background of the second generation of stars is revealed? So what?

This is entertainment, not nepotism in a family business, or a parachute from a government/government agency. On the contrary, many second-generation stars can easily win attention, which is a good thing. Like Brye-Dallas, hiding the fact that her father is Ron-Hoard and relying on her own strength to work hard will get the support of the audience and the appreciation of the industry.

If Renly really has the background of the second generation of stars and successfully completed the hype, then there is nothing surprising, because this is Hollywood, and for hype and exposure, Hollywood is no compromise. At least, Gavin can’t deny that in “The Pacific War” and “Buried Alive”, Renly did give a stunning performance.

So, in the face of Renly’s rhetorical question, Gavin actually lost a little bit. This is also a drawback of gossip magazines such as “US Weekly”. Internet hotspots are indeed very important, but they tend to spend all their energy on these meticulous and peripheral hotspots. , once the big gossip is excavated, then everyone will be happy, otherwise it will be trivial and insignificant junk news.

“Then maybe we can have a good interview with your parents.” Gavin concealed his embarrassment and said half-jokingly, but he also knew that the joke was not funny, so he quickly changed the subject, “Then you and Natalie Poe. What’s going on between Terman? The scandal about you and her is now a hot topic of discussion.”

Renly raised his eyebrows lightly, “If I remember correctly, you were the source of the scandal in the first place. I thought you knew the ins and outs of the matter better than I did.” Renly showed an enthusiastic expression, “Otherwise, will you explain the situation to me?”

The position of this interview was reversed in a blink of an eye, and Gavin was really caught off guard. But after all, he has been in the business for two years. He quickly calmed down and fought back. “I saw you and Natalie meet in front of the movie theater. This is the beginning, isn’t it?”

Renly couldn’t help but smile. He raised his head slightly, “People always say, you have to believe what you see with your eyes, so what about magic? Do you believe in magic?”

Renly’s answer was quite meaningful, and Gavin thought about it carefully, and then thought again.” In the jerky atmosphere at the premiere of “Buried Alive”, he suddenly had a strange idea, so he blurted out and asked, “You said, you and Natalie met at the Toronto Film Festival, this year’s film festival?”

“The premiere the day before yesterday was the second time I saw Miss Portman.” Renly gave a gentlemanly answer, Gavin suddenly realized, but thinking about it again, his heart beat fast.

In fact, what Gavin didn’t know was that within the past thirty-six hours, including “US Weekly” itself, a lot of media had sniffed the clues and began to criticize Natalie and “” The “Black Swan” crew is chasing after them. It’s just that Gavin has been preparing for today’s interview, and he also attended the premiere of “127 Hours” yesterday, so he missed the excitement.

Gavin felt that the amount of information was a bit large, blinked, put the idea aside for the time being, and made a small joke before continuing to ask questions, “Reporter’s professional instinct, you know.” Gavin shrugged, in this way to hide his embarrassment Guessing the role, how to put it into the performance?”

Gavin had a hunch that Renly would definitely not refuse professional issues, not only would not refuse, but also like to hear it.

Sure enough, Renly talked about some interesting things about the filming process very easily. At this moment, Andy Rogers suddenly came over, interrupted the interview process, and whispered in Renly’s ear, “About the Let’s not talk about the experience of the airtight experience in the coffin for the time being.”

With the current situation, it is still impossible to make an accurate prediction on the prospects of the “buried alive” awards season, at least it is a good start, so they need to lay the groundwork in advance. If college PR is in full swing by December, it will be too late. An independent film crew like “Buried Alive” usually has no strategy and will not start until after signing a contract with a distribution company; however, since Andy has become Renly’s manager, he naturally has to make plans for Renly, as if The “Black Swan” crew took the same step as Natalie’s plan.

Renly retracted his chin slightly to show his understanding, and smiled to meet Gavin’s questioning gaze, “He’s explaining to me, don’t talk about those trivial things that destroy the image. For example, I filmed the scene where I called Paul’s mother. During the scene, I cried so much that I couldn’t help myself, so much that the director called out. Not only did I not stop, but I cried even more violently. Everyone was frightened by me. I cried like a baby.

” Gavin laughed out loud and looked up at Andy, who was standing beside him with a smile on his face. Gavin felt even more joyful, “This is obviously not an easy shooting experience. By the way, ‘127 Hours’ premiered the night before yesterday. , did you watch it?”

“Yes, I watched it for the first time.” Renly said in a relaxed tone, and then he noticed Gavin’s doubtful gaze. Renly was not seen at the premiere of “127 Hours”, and he had to add The explanation said, “I got the tickets for the industry yesterday and successfully completed the check-in operation.”

For popular movies such as “127 Hours”, Renly grabbed the excess movie tickets in the public arena like several other works a few days ago. It was extremely difficult. However, Andy had other considerations. He also hoped that Renly could show up more, so he got tickets for the industry for Renly.

“Oh, it looks like I missed a lot of fun yesterday. Then you must have heard that the work received a lot of praise from the media, and many people think that James Franco (james-frano) contributed The best performance of his career. Since both works tell the story of survival in danger, people put you and him to compare and discuss. How do you feel?”

Gavin’s question itself is not much new. , obviously to dig a hole for Renly to dance, and to provoke a conversation between Renly and James. But the intention is too obvious, as long as some polite words can be perfunctory.

“I think James’ performance is very good.” Renly nodded affirmatively and talked eloquently, “but this movie is obviously the director who is the biggest contributor. Danny Ball’s scheduling, shots, and controls are really outstanding. , the audience’s emotions are always in his hands, and the viewing process is indeed a kind of enjoyment.”

Gavin was stunned for a while, and then he became ecstatic. What Renly meant by this: Was James Franco’s performance not worth mentioning? Or, is it not worth comparing with him? Further, in “Buried Alive”, does Renly think he deserves more credit than the director? Such arrogant, arrogant, and direct words are really exciting!

Gavin’s pupils suddenly dilated, and he suddenly thought of Marlon Brando in his mind.

At the beginning, this rebellious and talented actor bluntly believed that “James Dean is just a follower who pursues a false name”, which caused a media uproar; but James Dean always concealed his admiration for Malone. Fan twice refused to meet with the latter, and it was not until James died young in a car accident that Malone realized James’ talent and talent, and was extremely embarrassed for the missed opportunity of the two.

Actors in the golden age never mind showing meanness, cruelty and greed, and they don’t even care about public criticism; but after entering the 1990s, agents and publicists rose rapidly, and every actor was a human being, and would never be easy to get in. utter nonsense in public. Even bad boys like Sean Penn and megalomaniacs like James Cameron rarely openly lash out at their peers.

Gavin subconsciously looked up at Andy who was standing next to him. If Andy came out to stop it, he would definitely not be able to report it, but unexpectedly, Andy stood quietly beside him, and it seemed that there was no movement. The appearance, this… what’s going on here?

Andy was actually a little helpless. Hearing Renly’s words, he immediately reacted, and the disaster came out of his mouth. But after a turn of his brain, he also came to understand that Renly is usually not this kind of casually targeting others and denying their personality, but when it comes to professional information, the confidence and firmness of his gestures have an unstoppable momentum. .

Whether it was Gavin’s mention of the performance before, Renly’s eyes flashed with excitement; or now that Gavin mentioned James Franco, Renly made a blunt point of view. In the final analysis, this is Renly’s bottom line, his persistence, and his shining point.

When Andy was willing to visit the cottage, didn’t he just like this trait of Renly? If he kills it, it might as well not sign Renly. So, even though he wanted to step up to dissuade Renly, but gritted his teeth, he stopped in place.
