The Greatest Showman - Chapter 2326

[Two thousand two hundred and eighty-nine boring gambling]

Apparently, Alison isn’t the only one worried about the Weinstein brothers.

Felicity’s expression was slightly embarrassed, and she wasn’t quite sure how she should respond. Such a scene was really not something she was good at.

Fortunately, Renly interrupted in time to save Felicity, who was in trouble. “I don’t want to break my perfect image. Imagine the violence in the backstage of the Hilton Hotel after the awards ceremony? My publicist should be very headache, So it’s better for me not to show up.”

“Haha!” Even Max couldn’t help but applaud Renly’s self-deprecation.

“No no no, I’d choose Renly.” Alan Tudyk found his voice, still coughing, “I mean, I watched that movie, and one is still doing it to this day. Nightmare, that’s why I didn’t drink coffee just now, and honestly, I’m scared of Renly.” The

group laughed!

Allen’s half-truths made it impossible to tell what was going on, but he continued to speak with a serious face, “I’m serious, please, everyone, Renly’s performance is unsurpassed. The one performance that gave me such a lingering aftertaste was Daniel Day-Lewis in ‘There Will Be Blood,’ where you look in the eyes and you get scared. And now, I don’t think anyone can beat Renly this year. ”

Daniel Day-Lewis?

This is not a casual comparison showdown, it can even be called the highest benchmark in the industry. Allen’s words caused more waves in the lounge – but I don’t know whether he is praised or ridiculed, these words are really ambiguous / ignorant.

“Very well, I guess it’s about time.” Renly answered the sentence just right, with a calm and confident look, as if to say: Now is the time for his praise to be “upgraded” to the level of Daniel Day-Lewis. The dark humor was immediately revealed between the lines of the joking words.

The delicate atmosphere was immediately broken, all eyes were focused on Renly again, laughter came and went, and the lounge was very lively.

“Aren’t you really worried about losing your chance this year completely because of your absence?” The question was Max, which seemed a little unexpected, and everyone looked at him – originally thought that his mentality was more stable, no Will care about these Hollywood awards.

He shrugged lightly, “I thought I didn’t care, but I won a chance a few years ago, and when I finally missed it, I was still a little down in my heart. I mean, despite the awards being full of distractions, But after all, it is the recognition from the peers and the industry, which is still very rare, isn’t it?”

Everyone faintly revealed the eyes of approval.

What Max is talking about should be “The Hunt” in 2012.

This Danish work won him the best actor in Cannes, and it also became famous during the awards season at the end of the year. Nominated for Best Actor, Max’s solid and delicate performance has won numerous praises, and he is very hopeful to reach the Oscar nomination; but later, because of the lack of public relations power of the academy, Max regrettably missed the nomination, and the film was shortlisted one after another. Nominated for Best Foreign Language Film at the Golden Globes and Oscars.

It is indeed extremely difficult to be nominated for an Oscar with a performance in a foreign language.

For Max, this could have been a career turning point – he could gain more exposure, raise his awareness to the next level, earn more acting opportunities, and even choose to be interested in Hollywood The opportunity for the role, but he still missed it after all.

Even Renly is no exception. An Emmy trophy that year became an important turning point in his entire career that cannot be ignored.

Just like the balance between business and art, when awards are dyed with commercial colors because of the awards season, the relationship between the film industry and awards is no longer pure, then the choice of actors becomes more complicated. Especially actors with weak “commercial attributes” like Max, Mendelsohn and Felicity, how should they deal with their relationship with awards season works?

This is a brand new topic.

Obviously, Renly is now the most authoritative board in the entire industry.

But the problem was that Renly himself couldn’t come up with the right formula—or rather, things didn’t have the right formula in the first place.

Renly could sense the focus on him, the atmosphere in the lounge was unwittingly becoming serious, and things were a little off track.

Renly did not continue joking, but considered his own words, “Of course, recognition from peers is undoubtedly very rare and very important, every artist is eager to find appreciation that can understand and recognize themselves. We are no exception.”

“But if we ignore ourselves, or even give up art itself, for those appreciations and recognitions, how can we strive for those understandings? Our identity as an artist is different. Where should I settle? Art and recognition, art first and recognition later, this is my personal opinion.”

Renly wouldn’t say that he was “abandoning” the award, he couldn’t be like Woody Allen after all. Being detached, he also yearns for recognition, but he refuses to give up his pursuit of acting skills for those recognitions, which is why he has never been interested in academy public relations.

“If those associations are willing to award me an award, I will gladly accept it and be grateful; but if I regret missing it, I will accept the result with a smile.” Renly replied in the simplest and most calm manner.

The actors in the lounge have different expressions.

Obviously, not everyone can agree with Renly’s choice: it’s like whether humans adapt to the environment, or the environment adapts to humans, everyone has their own opinions, which in turn affect their own values and worldviews and so on.

Renly didn’t mean to instill his own ideas into everyone, and after answering Max’s confusion sincerely, his tone relaxed again, “Wait, why did the focus shift to me? I thought , we are in London now, and what happened on the other side of the Atlantic shouldn’t have much to do with it.”

A light joke instantly resolved the overly focused silence in the lounge, everyone came back to their senses, and their expressions returned to ease.

“Because you were obviously the most popular result, but you missed the awards ceremony.” Wen-Jiang also said in a way of complaining, “I think you will regret not attending the Golden Globe Awards. I think the Foreign Press Association will definitely award the award this year. Here’s to you.”

“No, no, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association is very, very cunning. They have an unwritten rule that awards will not be awarded to absentees.” Allen shook his head repeatedly, and then many people exclaimed. Nodding again to confirm, “Yes, yes, you heard right, it is indeed the case, and this matter has also caused countless controversies in Hollywood.”

Because this does not mean that the Hollywood Foreign Press Association has already finalized the decision. Award list, and one of the winners is absent, and then they can modify the winner list and present the award to another guest present?

This is the power of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. They still hope that all the nominees can attend. The ratings and hot topic are what the Golden Globes have been pursuing; but this goes against the original intention of the awards ceremony, like kidnapping the nominees with awards. They are generally required that they must be present.

This matter is not a secret in the Hollywood industry. The Hollywood Foreign Press Association even issued an official statement expressing a similar meaning, causing an uproar. Although they later withdrew the statement, the tricks hidden in it are all too clear.

This is also the reason why the reputation of the Golden Globe Awards in Hollywood is always full of controversy – of course, now Hollywood stars do not really take the Golden Globe Award seriously, it is completely regarded as Hollywood’s annual starlight conference, just like the Teen Choice Awards. , except that it’s the Adults’ Choice Awards.

“So, you’re saying that even though they were going to give the award to Renly, but now they’ve cancelled it?” Wen-Jiang still couldn’t believe this fact.

Alan spread his hands.

Even Mendelsohn couldn’t help shaking his head. “No, no, it can’t be like this. Do they know what they’re doing? It’s not fair to Renly, it’s not fair to the other nominated actors. Awards should be given to performance. The best actor, isn’t it?”

This should have been the original intention of the awards ceremony; but interpersonal and social relations have never been so simple, and after the concept of awards season was born, interests were involved, and things were more complicated.

Mendelsohn’s words made everyone silent, unable to refute, but also had to refute, so how should they respond?

“I don’t think it’s possible,” Tony said, “or we’ll bet. I think the Golden Globes will make an exception this year and award it to Renly.”

“What?” This was Renly’s voice.

“I agree. UU reading www.sonicmtl.com ” Max also expressed his position.

Renly waved his hands in disbelief, “Everyone, hey, everyone! Don’t do this, things shouldn’t go this way! Please don’t gamble, okay? It’s illegal.

” Personally, he doesn’t like this kind of gambling game, and he doesn’t like himself being the focus of the gambling game.

But it’s kind of out of hand now, and it’s about Renly, not just about Renly – it’s about the awards season, everyone is included, no one can stay out of it, not even Tony and Wen Kang, who are preparing to enter Hollywood, are no exception.

“No, I don’t think so.” Wen-Jiang sees it more clearly than anyone else, because of the environment he is in, he clearly knows how things will develop. Although he doesn’t want to believe that the same thing will happen in Hollywood, he is serious. Think about it, behind Hollywood is Wall Street, Wall Street where interests come first, so what else is impossible?

The two pieces of land on the other side of the Pacific Ocean eventually reached the same destination.
