The Greatest Showman - Chapter 2111

[2075 officially returns]

Although the awards season focuses on artistic titles and has little to do with commercial films; the balance between commerce and art has always been an everlasting theme, such as “Titanic”, “Lord of the Rings” series, and “Avatar”. The films have successively won Oscar nominations and have successfully been recognized by the academy.

Going a step further, there are actually not a few actors in history who have made it to the awards season or even nominated for an Oscar with their outstanding performances in commercial films.

Tom Hanks of Forrest Gump, Tommy Lee Jones of Desperados, Russell Crowe of Gladiator, Tom Cruise of Sweetheart, Weakness Sandra Bullock, Renee-Zellweger from BJ’s Singles, Kate Winslet from Titanic, Johnny Depp from Pirates of the Caribbean, The Bat Heath Ledger from “The Dark Knight”, and so on.

To be precise, the definitions of “business” and “art” are inherently vague, and some art films have successfully hit the hearts of audiences, just like “Apollo 13” or “Pirates of the Caribbean”, they can also be in the It takes a place in awards season, and the performance of actors can also be recognized by the industry, which is why the Golden Globes set up a musical comedy category, opening its arms to the entertainment essence of the film industry.

Nevertheless, it is not easy for actors to achieve such a goal, and it can even be said to be rare.

Not even Tom Hanks, not even Jack Nicholson, not even Daniel Day-Lewis, with the exception of Meryl Streep.

As long as Meryl starred in a work, her name will inevitably appear in the awards season. It seems that when the academy judges don’t know who to choose, as long as Meryl is checked, it will not be a wrong decision. This also makes Meryl extremely strong in the nomination stage, and continues to refresh the Oscar nomination record – so far, she has been nominated for 18 Oscars, which is unmatched, even for commercial films.

However, this honor is only enjoyed by Meryl, and all other actors in the long history do not have such ability.

Now, is it Renly’s turn?

After “Buried Alive”, “Crazy in Love”, “Transcendence” and “Gravity” won the Oscar for Best Actor nominations for four consecutive years, can Renly become the first in film history to win the Oscar for the fifth year in a row nominated actor?

Just look at “Interstellar” and “Drummer”.

Of course, at this stage, it is only a matter of conversation after dinner. There are still nearly two months before the awards season will really get lively. After waiting for the seed players to appear in succession, we can make judgments. The current discussions can only be regarded as predictions. It’s just hot, it can’t be counted.

but,

It is undeniable that, including the purely commercial films “Fast & Furious 5” and “Edge of Tomorrow”, Renly has truly delivered top-notch performances in every production, even Meryl- Streep has missed moments, but Renly never has—

after 2011’s “Crazy in Love” and “Cancer Me,” and 2013’s “Gravity” and “Drunken Country Ballads.” In 2014, Renly once again presented two high-quality and high-quality works, which further consolidated Renly’s strong reputation in the industry, and seems to be sprinting towards the height of making history.

It doesn’t matter even if it doesn’t make history this year. After the ups and downs of the awards season at the beginning of the year, Renly has truly opened up the two veins of Le Ren and Du, and has won a deep level of trust in the industry. It is undeniable that Renly is indeed Prove your talent through a series of works.

From this perspective, this year’s awards season is really exciting.

So, what about Renly, who is at the center of the discussion?

Everyone knows that Renly has returned to London, but the question is, what is the reason for Renly to return to London with no work and no itinerary?

If it were an ordinary actor, no one would be particularly curious. It might be a vacation, a visit to a friend, or a private matter. There are many possibilities, so there is no need to be too persistent; but as the focus of global attention, Renly’s every move It all involved everyone’s attention. What’s more, there are still people who remember that in March of the first half of the year, Renly disappeared for a while and then appeared in London. No one knows the specific reason.

Is this trip to London related to the one in March?

Are there other possibilities involved?

This deserves attention.

However, all eyes have been on North America recently. A series of film festivals such as Toronto, Telluride and New York have kicked off the awards season. Even the paparazzi have not had much time to pay attention to Renly’s every move. It also won Renly precious breathing time – for the majority of netizens, this is a pity, but for Renly, this is a blessing.

The only variable is: Will the British paparazzi let Renly go?

When it comes to the madness and professionalism of the paparazzi, the United Kingdom is the world’s premier region, and even the secrets of the royal family cannot escape their siege. The tragedy of Princess Diana is the most terrifying moment in the past two decades; and At the beginning, they were not even able to dig out the identity of Renly’s hereditary aristocracy, which was also ashamed by the British paparazzi, who were also waiting for the turning point to wash away the shame.

When Renly landed at London’s Heathrow International Airport, the eyes of the paparazzi were already projected over, trying to dig out Renly’s secret; unfortunately, the paparazzi were destined to be disappointed, not because Renly saw through theirs The whereabouts, but because Renly was not prepared to hide his whereabouts at all –

although it is not a high-profile, but Renly did not hide or cover up, so he appeared in the public eye, which made the paparazzi I couldn’t find a sense of accomplishment at all, and I always felt like I was being tricked by Renly.

Of course, the paparazzi still won’t let Renly go easily, but without the feeling of a cat-and-mouse game, the paparazzi’s work becomes a lot more boring and boring. They are like… nannies:

accompanying Renly all the way. The babysitter is not much different from those security guards in black suits, and he can’t even raise the speed of the car.

This is really frustrating.

As a result, the paparazzi pressed the shutter on Renly’s car in a way of venting their anger, and the flash was like a silver waterfall. to show his presence, reminding Renly that “this is not an outing”.

Philip Demba glanced at Renly through the rear-view mirror, and then he could see a small smile on the corner of Renly’s mouth, looking out of the window with interest, his eyes twinkling slightly, like a curious baby, studying those things. The actions of the paparazzi are not only not irritable or angry, but also reveal a little comfort.

It can be seen that Renly was in a very good mood, and he did not appear dull because of returning to London. Even with that, a smile appeared in Philip’s eyes, “Master Renly, do you need me to get rid of them?”

“Oh, no. They’re just trying to prove their existence, aren’t they? It’s not very clever though.” Renly said with a smile, after a short pause, he continued, “Moreover, the next paragraph Time, and I’m looking forward to their help.”

Now that the clarion call for a counterattack had been decided, Renly was ready to take the fight his way.

He knew that the paparazzi could not easily let him go. When he returned to London this time, his every move would inevitably be bathed in the spotlight. To a certain extent, just like the British royal family, any trouble could become tabloid The headline – “The Sun” is definitely not to be missed. Since it cannot be avoided, it is better to make full use of it. Anything is a double-edged sword.

Philip looked at Renly who had spoken lightly and attacked his words, his eyes could not help flashing slightly, “Don’t hurt yourself.”

This is already very out of line. Normally, it is absolutely impossible for Philip to speak like this, and Renly couldn’t help but be frightened. After jumping, he said with a smile, “I’m not used to it now.” A joke made Philip’s mouth relax a little, but he still didn’t smile.

“Is everything going well?” Renly asked endlessly. After the meeting in New Orleans, Renly and Philip had not contacted each other, and he did not know what happened between Philip and George and Elizabeth. What, just know the end result – Philip left the Halls.

Philip didn’t explain too much, just nodded his head in affirmation, and then changed the subject, “Is the weather still suitable for coming from California to London?”

At this time, it was only the end of September, and Los Angeles was still enjoying the summer sunshine. It is bright and hot, but London can already feel the coolness and coolness of early autumn. The gray sky and cool light rain are also the appearance in memory. It seems that it has never changed.

Still looking out of the window, Renly chuckled softly, “The weather is fine, but I’m not used to such warm treatment.”

The corner of Philip’s line of sight also followed Renly’s words and projected to the side, and then he could see that the paparazzi were frantically pressing the shutter. The silver flash was slightly dazzling, and after a moment of silence, Philip also raised a rare sight. One question, “Can they capture something?”

Renly paused for a moment, thinking about it, “Well…I don’t think so. I discussed this with a reporter before, and he said that every time a shoot There may be thousands of photos, but the final number of films may be one or two, and the rate of production is very low. They have even developed a professional habit of pressing the shutter regardless of the situation. Whatever happens, the first The response is to use the shutter to record. So, I think, they are doing this right now.”

Obviously it was just a small question, but Renly gave a serious reply as if they were discussing the “global warming effect”. .
