1247 Unexpected travel
When the Oscar for Best Actor won, a wave of doubts and rebuttals quietly spread within the industry. It was not directed at Renly personally, but because Renly's youth challenged the rules and disciplines of the entire industry that had been established for a century.：
Is this really appropriate? Is this really appropriate? Isn’t this really counterproductive? Is this really fair to other senior actors? Is this really the best? Is this really the pinnacle of performance? Will this really not break the industrial balance? Is this really in line with industry standards? Is this really in line with historical trends?？
After Olivier won the Best Actor in a Musical, a wave of praise and support quietly spread within the industry. As the "New Yorker" said, the "Young Master Effect" is becoming a sign of the times, and the new generation of actors headed by Renly is creating a new era.
Those doubts and confusions, those objections and protests will never disappear, just like the struggle between the reformers and the conservatives. They will objectively exist in any society in any era, but no one can stop the advancement of the wheel of history. More importantly, Yes, no one can deny Renly's strong rise.
From TV to movies, from music to theater.
It is not just the advantages accumulated from trophies, gradually approaching the great glory of EGOT; it is also the reputation accumulated by each work, the image polished by experience, behind every work in every field, You can get a glimpse of Renly’s persistence and determination.
People once doubted Renly's rise, and "Hypegate" was the best example; people once challenged Renly's professional image, and the negative news about "I Fight Cancer" was the best example; people once questioned Renly’s personal character and the gossip related to Chris Hemsworth and Vin Diesel are the most direct examples..
However, after the test of time, the truth of the matter finally emerged..
There may always be controversy, but as Renly himself said, he is an actor, which is an unshakable and unquestionable fact..
It goes without saying that EGOT is rare and precious; what is even more important and rare than EGOT is: Renly’s reputation and image, the recognition and appreciation from the industry, and the support and affirmation from the audience.
People firmly believe that even if they miss the Tony Award this time, that day will come sooner or later; even if they miss the EGOT this time, sooner or later Renly's glory will be complete. Because Renly is an excellent actor, Even one of the most outstanding actors of our time.
This is the most important piece of information after the Olivier Awards ends; this is the so-called "Young Master Effect" mentioned in an article written by "The New Yorker"”.
This time, the always low-key and dull Olivier Awards, uncharacteristically attracted attention from all over the world. After the awards ceremony ended, hundreds of people including The Times, The Hollywood Reporter, The New York Times, etc. Three media outlets published relevant reports immediately, and 43 of them conducted further in-depth reports..
It's about EGOT, it's about Les Miserables making history, it's about Tom Holland and Luke Treadaway, it's about the Les Miserables anniversary, it's about Renly……
The bustling discussion is comparable to the excitement of the Oscars and Golden Globe Awards, because of unfamiliarity, curiosity, and novelty..
“The rise of "Les Misérables" has brought too many "firsts". On the one hand, it is because the play itself is familiar. Even if you don't like drama, you must have heard about it, not to mention the promotion of novels and movies; on the other hand, It's because of Renly's extremely high popularity that he attracted the attention of a large number of fans..
As a result, this play opened the door to the West End and Broadway, warmly welcoming and embracing the influx of new generations of audiences. As for the impact and effect, we can only wait for time to settle..
The wave of print media and online media has undoubtedly affected television media.
The BBC TV station, which is responsible for broadcasting the Olivier Award Ceremony, immediately joined the heat wave and proactively sent an invitation to Renly. He hoped that Renly could record a talk show and accept interviews, but not in a serious way. An in-depth interview of nature, more of a relaxed and humorous conversation.
Back on the North American continent, Renly has appeared on "The Tonight Show", "The Ellen Show", etc. many times. In the programs, he showed his excellent eloquence and outstanding humor, and was loved by the audience..
In a Yahoo community poll, Renly was voted the first "host most anticipated to appear on 'Saturday Night Live'", receiving more than 50% of the votes, a distant second. The famous then-President Barack - ***** - voted for people who have not yet appeared on "Saturday Night Live".
But back home in England, Renly had never appeared on a talk show.
In fact, compared with American talk shows, the overall style of British talk shows is bolder and more adventurous, with a wider scale, broader topics, and more noisy atmosphere; at the same time, it also has a strong sense of British mockery and cold humor. Audiences who really like it , absolutely crazy about it; and those viewers who are disgusted will seem out of place.
This kind of talk show is also an extremely severe test for the guests..
American talk shows are keen on complaining about themselves. Only by daring to make fun of themselves can they survive in comedy shows. British talk shows go one step further. They not only need to learn to make fun of themselves, but also learn to accept pornographic and violent jokes. In addition, they must be able to Fight back and adapt to the atmosphere of the show with ease.
Whoever takes it seriously will lose. Definitely not any guest can afford it.
The invitation from BBC TV was not part of the planned itinerary.
However, after Almeida Theater manager Emma Fitting confirmed the invitation, she considered it seriously. This was a very favorable publicity opportunity for the anniversary of "Les Misérables"; at the same time, It's also a great opportunity to further open the West End to general audiences - after all, theater actors rarely get the opportunity to appear on the show to promote themselves..
So, Emma immediately called Andy Rogers, completely ignoring the time difference between the Atlantic Ocean, and immediately elaborated on her thoughts and opinions, and successfully persuaded Andy, nodding and agreeing to cooperate with the schedule. Later, Emma also communicated with the London Theater Society, explained her plan, and successfully obtained the association's official support.——
Following the craze for the Olivier Awards, the West End should firmly seize the opportunity to further develop the market..
The entire operation was carried out resolutely and very efficiently..
Finally, Emma found Renly in person and had a face-to-face conversation, hoping that Renly could cooperate with the promotion and appear on the talk show.
Renly didn't hesitate much about this. After briefly understanding Emma and the London Theater Society's grand plan, he simply nodded and agreed..
For Renly, this is just a recording of a program. It is a piece of cake and there is no difficulty at all. But for the theater industry, this is the goal that countless people work hard for. They are doing their best for the future of the entire industry. If possible Renly was more than happy to help..
In less than forty-eight hours, the agreement between Renly and BBC TV was finalized..
After selection, the BBC TV station selected "The-Graham-Norton-Show" as Renly's first debut stage on British TV. It was also the first time that the West End drama industry really started to develop. The first stage of commercial promotion, this important responsibility is both an honor and a burden..
“"The Graham Norton Show", often referred to as "The Norton Show", is a relatively young talk show that was officially launched for the first time in 2007 and is hosted by Irish comedian Graham Norton..
As a host, Graham has a distinctive style, which is concise, lively, pungent, and loose in scale. He can often create a hilarious effect in the midst of a heated exchange of words; but at the same time, he remains approachable, relevant to current affairs, and young. Vibrant style ensures that the program can continue to advance with the times.
This style has won Graham a large number of viewers from major consumer groups, and the ratings have been rising steadily..

To ensure the full coverage of audiences from all walks of life; for the third time, in October 2009, the program was transferred to BBC One.
Now, "The Norton Show" is one of the most popular talk shows in the UK.
When Hollywood's top stars come to the UK to promote, "The Norton Show" is always an indispensable stop. Even during the summer season every year, there is a lot of publicity and there are so many crews and guests who apply to appear. The program team was so busy that they had to reluctantly make a choice, which also made the opportunity to appear in the program even more precious..
Of course, the content of the program is becoming more and more exciting.
According to the plan, the recording of the new season of "The Norton Show" is about to begin. The guests for the first three episodes have been arranged. A number of works that are about to start the summer war are ready to go. "Iron Man 3", "Speed" 6", "Star Trek Into Darkness", "Superman: Man of Steel", etc. are all gearing up..
But now, the BBC TV station has made an unprecedented move and arranged a guest performer in advance, and it is for a West End play. This is definitely a daring feat..
However, as the host, Graham Norton raised his hands and feet to express his welcome, and couldn't wait to start recording this episode. After all, his opponent was the famous Renly..
So it was officially decided, the first episode of the fourteenth season of "The Norton Show", guest star: Renly Hall！
