The Greatest Showman - Chapter 2421

[Two thousand three hundred and eighty-four can’t stop]

“After the premiere yesterday, I chatted with the editor-in-chief of the French ‘Cinema Live’, and he said that this was Lanthimos’ most acceptable and his best film, and I disagreed, and we had a heated argument as a result. Obviously, I still prefer Lanthimos in the ‘dogtooth’ period.”

“I agree with that sentence: it is most easily accepted by the public. Because Lanthimos has repeatedly explained the rules of the entire dystopian world structure, for For the audience, it’s really easy to accept.”

…

“The reaction from North American reporters was generally positive. I met a Canadian reporter who said that the humorous effect was full of surprises, and he was very hopeful of winning an award.”

“Well, me too, ‘variety show’ ‘ even said the first part had a bit of Luis-Bunuel’s flavor and was excellent; the second part was like Francois-Truffaut’s ‘451 degrees Fahrenheit’ , but it feels a little unstable.”

“What? This is too exaggerated? Both Buñuel and Truffaut are out? It’s ridiculous! I think it’s probably Renly’s impression, the media obviously They are willing to be more positive.”

“It can be said that, but I think that Renly’s role has made those people more harsh.”

…

“I talked to at least five French reporters, and their views are very close, I liked the first part, but the second part was a little tired. The ending still relies on Renly, which should be the mainstream view in France.”

“The editor-in-chief of ‘Independent Telegram’ directly gave a high score of ‘A-‘, saying that it was Cannes this year. Biggest surprise so far. I’m even starting to wonder if the American independent film community has reached a consensus.”

“Oh? You mean, you think they’re favoring Renly?”

“No, that’s not what I meant, don’t twist me view. I mean, the work deserves credit, but ‘A-‘? Isn’t that an exaggeration?”

“…that’s what I meant.”

“Well, that’s what I meant. I just thought, ‘B+’ might be fine, but ‘A-‘ would be too much.”

“Then you think Cohen Will the Brothers like it?”

…

Whispering,

chattering.

The reporters who were waiting in the hall of the villa could not hold back their excitement and curiosity. They began to exchange the opinions they received during their stay in Cannes, positive and negative, positive and negative, all kinds of opinions. All are surging, and you can feel the unparalleled heat of “lobster” from the side.

From yesterday to today, the debate over “lobster” has still not been able to find a clear context, but has become more and more intense with the advancement of time. It seems that everyone is thinking more and more complex, and the indescribable fuzzy emotions are also It has spread all the way and has not been able to be unified yet.

Even the media reporters and editors-in-chief of major professional magazines are watching and discussing with each other, like testing the water temperature, observing the wind direction of the “lobster”.

Now, all eyes are projected towards the Cannes Film Festival, and I am curious about how the ten most representative and authoritative media view this work; further, what is the prospect of this work in this year’s Cannes? Will it continue Renly’s consistent strong performance?

Unconsciously, the focus of attention gathered.

However, Renly is still as stable as a mountain here?

Both Bradley and Gavin strongly doubt that Oggs and the rest of the crew can be so calm: standing on the cusp of controversy is definitely not so easy, the ubiquitous sight and sound is stress; Bad reviews have nothing to do, just a sense of oppression brought about by the focus of attention, which can create urgency and anxiety invisibly.

“That’s a good thing.” Was

that Renly’s answer?

This seems too simple, doesn’t it?

Seemingly aware of Bradley and Gavin’s surprised and questioning glances, Renly chuckled and had to continue to explain:

“I think that’s what Oggs is for. You know, throwing a topic, Use his method to complete the interpretation, and leave the rest to the audience for everyone to recall carefully. The more heated the discussion, the more it shows that Oggs’ goal has been achieved. If all are one-sided praise, instead It’s boring.” Renly shrugged, “I guess the current situation is the best compliment to the movie.”

Having said that, just like his own child, every director, actor or screenwriter, Always want your work to be recognized.

“Renly, haven’t you ever been worried about the reviews of your own work?” Gavin asked curiously – after two years of blank, some things seem to have begun to blur, and the questions that were never clear at the beginning are now flooding again. on the head.

“Is this the start of the interview? Or is it a side chat?” Ren Li didn’t answer, but raised his eyebrows and asked curiously.

Gavin was slightly stunned, and Bradley followed, “Is there any difference?”

“No, there is no difference, it’s just that I need to wear a mask.” Renly joked to himself, which made Bradley smile. When he got up, Gavin was even more relaxed.

Renly’s lighthearted and witty let Gavin find a familiar rhythm again, and the nervousness eased without knowing it, and it seemed that he had returned to the familiar time again.

Renly didn’t pause either, then replied, “Care and worry, that’s for sure. After all, this is my work, a work that has been carefully selected and put into production, and I look forward to seeing everyone’s feedback. Worrying about good reviews or bad reviews is better than caring about all the reviews.”

“It’s been the same until now.”

“If someone criticizes my work, even if I know that the other person is right, I still think about how to refute it; similarly, if someone criticizes my work Compliments, I also think about which parts are real and can continue to develop or improve. And so on.”

“It’s not so much a debate about a high or low, but a process of self-reflection, because every work is a new beginning and challenge, and there are bound to be many uncertainties in the process of trying, and it may not be successful every time. There may still be ups and downs, and I need to calm down and look at the work myself.”

Although he was talking about a serious topic, Renly always kept a smile on his face, which made Bradley take the initiative to intervene, “There is a stubbornness that will not admit defeat. , knowing that the other party is right, seems to have to fight for a breath. But after regaining his senses, he will silently examine himself, is that so?”

“Yes, that’s it.” Renly laughed cheerfully, “I Cherish every opportunity to exchange feedback. I still remember the first time I attended the Sundance Film Festival, a news comment could determine the mood of the whole day, and the ups and downs were like a roller coaster.

” Not coming out.” Gavin shook his head in surprise.

Renly’s eyes were full of smiles, “If you can see it, then my housekeeper should ask me to practice basic daily etiquette again.”

Bradley and Gavin were speechless.

“So how do you deal with these mentalities?” Gavin asked.

“Calm. Restrained. Introverted. There’s no skill. I’ll do what you guys do. I’m not a perfect Mr. Clark-Kent.” Renly said lightly, “However, with experience and age, I I also gradually realized that many times the negative comments on the Internet are unreasonable and have no context. If you don’t like it, you can overturn all the efforts of the entire crew with a word of ‘rubbish’.”

“Of course, they have the right to express their emotions. I also have the right to ignore their existence.” Renly is still the familiar Renly, “Now, I will still pay attention to those media comments, but they will not affect my mood because of them. Trust me, get rid of these negative Influence, my life can be easier.”

Gavin also chuckled, “So, do you still read the comments of professional media?”

“Nathan and Roy read,” Renly replied, “but, to be honest, cookie-cutter reviews are losing their charm, and some people think it’s an art form, and I think it’s worth discussing; and social networking The existence of the art form has spawned an offshoot of the art form.”

Gavin and Bradley looked at each other, and finally Bradley asked, “…What do you mean?”

“Haha, obviously I’m not getting enough sleep, The speech lacks focus, some jumps, you can’t keep up. My mistake, sorry.” Renly laughed heartily, “I mean, film criticism is also an art form, so we should allow it to be diverse. Include negative reviews, as well as those that don’t make any sense.”

Said a lot!

But… wait, how did their initial question start?

“Renly, have you read today’s newsletter?” Gavin finally regained the focus of his question.

“Not yet. Nathan hasn’t told me the results, what? You read an interesting comment?” Renly’s eyes brightened.

A small detail, Renly’s focus is not “good reviews” or “bad reviews”, but “interesting reviews”. There are no presets or expectations, and naturally there is no worry. This kind of emotion revealed inadvertently. And attitude is precisely the best expression of Renly’s remarks just now.

Gavin pulled out a journal from his backpack, “Would you like to read it on the spot?”

“Haha. UU reading www.sonicmtl.com” Renly took the journal from Gavin, “Why does this feel like a variety show from ten years ago, it has an old-fashioned flavor.”

Bradley was also a little surprised that Gavin brought the show directly. It seems that he has already prepared it. I hope Renly can Read the field journals on the spot.

“And what about the subject of my interview?” Bradley protested vehemently.

Gavin stared at Bradley with round eyes, looking very nervous.

Renly laughed with ease, “What’s the subject of your interview?”

“How do you feel about this comedy performance? What have you gained? Do you want to continue to appear in comedy in the future? Won a second Oscar at the beginning of the year. After that, your acting career reached a new peak. How did you feel? Did it feel different from the first time? What are your plans for the next? What goals are there? Are you looking forward to breaking through again? There’s a claim about a comedy movie with Paul Walker, which one is correct? Do you have any special thoughts about your career as an actor?”
