1257 tied one's hands and feet
The main reason why Eddard and Daniel were invited as special guests was because both of them had recently been involved in something that needed promotion for the show. But in addition, on the one hand, it was because they were close in age to Renly, and on the other hand, because One represents music and the other represents movies. The common topic of drawing parallels allows Graham to freely express himself..
But now, Graham unexpectedly hit a wall. He couldn't help but narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was questioning Renly's answer. However, he did not follow common sense and did not continue to talk about "whether to invite". Instead, he went straight to the point, "So, what if the London Olympic Organizing Committee issued an invitation?"？”
Last summer, the quadrennial Olympic Games kicked off with great fanfare in London. Although the Olympic Games have been criticized and questioned by the British people due to financial and economic pressures, no one can deny that this event still caused a sensation..
At the opening ceremony, Ed Sheeran, as a representative of the new generation of singers, took the stage.
Unfortunately, for such a grand stage, Ed is still too young and immature, and there are still many mistakes in the live performance..
In fact, during the planning stage, mainstream media including The Times and The Guardian reported that "Renly Hall, the Beatles, and the Spice Girls were on the waiting list for the opening ceremony." The names of top stars such as the group.”
Soon afterwards, the album "Don Quixote" won the Grammy and Brit Awards, and the reawakened folk trend set off a storm in the British Isles. Compared with the North American continent, The popularity of folk songs on the European continent has always been higher and has never really disappeared..
All this makes Renly's voice rise steadily..
However, at that time, Renly quietly returned to the West End of London, disappeared from the public view silently, and began to prepare for the performance of "Les Misérables". Slowly, the relevant news disappeared. When When the London Organizing Committee announced Eddard's selection, it still caused quite a bit of controversy. Many people said that in terms of music, popularity, performance, etc., Eddard was still not as good as Renly..
Later, "Empire" magazine exclusively broke the news about Renly's family background. There were also rumors in the industry that the London organizing committee had actually made the decision to use Renly, but the Hall family learned the news in advance and exerted powerful influence through personal connections. The pressure forced the organizing committee to change its course and gave up the plan to invite Renly at the last moment..
Going round and round, the London Olympics has been over for more than half a year, and the original rumors have disappeared. No one can confirm it, and no one can continue to investigate..
Now, Graham has once again talked about this sensitive taboo topic on his own show, carefully testing Renly's bottom line..
“No, I won't." Renly laughed dumbly..
Matthew had mentioned those rumors to him before, but this time, they wronged George and Elizabeth. The London Olympic Organizing Committee never sent an invitation to him, or even called Andy Rogers. Even if there was a plan, that meant that They have never actually carried out the operation, at least Arthur has not received any news, so the Hall family's prevention does not exist..
Despite this, Graham asked half-heartedly, and Renly did not pierce the window paper. He just insisted on the original question calmly, as if he was not aware of the deep meaning behind the question at all..
“I am an actor, not a singer." Renly said categorically, "I believe that Eddard is a more suitable choice. Of course, I will not say that his performance at the opening ceremony was perfect. No one is perfect.”
Those joking words immediately made Ed feel embarrassed..
As a creator, Ed is undoubtedly talented; but as a performer, Ed's live performances often suffer from car accidents..
Facing Renly's teasing, Eddard couldn't help scratching his head, but did not refute; instead, Daniel sitting next to him interjected, "Honestly, I can't imagine what it's like to stand on such a stage. There are nearly One hundred thousand viewers, and there are hundreds of millions of viewers for the TV broadcast. Just imagining it makes my scalp numb..”
Renly turned his head and nodded slightly in agreement, "So, singers and actors are different after all. We are in a theater, and a thousand audiences is already a large stage, right?？”
“That’s right. I’ve performed in a small theater with 300 people before, and I was so scared that I peeed.” Daniel also nodded repeatedly and said extremely excitedly..
“Ahem." Graham cleared his throat forcefully and made an exaggerated sound, "Two gentlemen, do you need a separate room?？”
“Open a room." This is a pun..
Daniel suddenly threw his head back and laughed, seeming a little embarrassed and a little shy; but Renly turned his head calmly and said, "You still provide such a service here?"？”
On the surface, it seems to be a simple retort, a calm response to Graham's ridicule; upon further study, the word "service" seems to have a profound meaning. Even Graham raised his knees exaggeratedly and exclaimed He shouted, "Your Excellency Renly Hall!" He expressed his protest righteously, with a hurt expression on his face..
Renly spread his hands and looked at the audience, expressing his innocence.
Amid laughter, Graham put his feet down and said, "According to your point of view, within a short period of time, our expectations for the new album should be hopeless..”
“Yes. I have no plans to record a new album yet." Renly admitted honestly, "But as far as I know, Ed is already preparing a new album, and we can look forward to it. Personally speaking , I have always been looking forward to Ed’s work, definitely not because in his record contract, I also have the right to share dividends..”
Everyone clapped their hands and laughed.
Ed himself was bursting with laughter, "Not long ago, Marcus and I met, and he mentioned working with you on the movie, and he was full of praise. Marcus mentioned before that you and Justin jokingly talked about holding a meeting. Possibility of a concert……”
“No, no, no, definitely not me, just Justin, just Justin and Marcus, without me." Renly waved his hands repeatedly, with a look on his face that he was afraid to avoid him..
Ed was stunned and rolled his eyes, "...So, you mean, if they hold a concert, you won't attend, is that right?？”
Then the audience saw Renly's slightly dazed expression. This was really rare, and he was led by the most honest and simple Eddard. This made the scene even more joyful, and the audience burst into applause..
But Ed didn't know why, and still had a serious expression on his face, "Isn't it? Did I understand it wrong?？”
Renly patted Eddard gently on the shoulder and said with a smile, "It's time to shut up now..”
Ed closed his mouth with an innocent look on his face, and the look of his little wife made the laughter at the scene even crazier..
Graham was unwilling to let Renly go easily, "So is what Eddard said correct? You are indeed planning a concert.？”
“Phew, so after going full circle, we are back to the movie. I thought I came here today specifically to promote the first anniversary of the performance of 'Les Misérables' at the Almeida Theater and hope that the audience will continue to support it." Renly spread his hands to express his helplessness and confusion..
“ah……”
Graham tried to stop him, but it was too late. He could only sigh helplessly..
When promoting works above talk shows, the host often takes the initiative and completes the introduction in a short and neat way to avoid taking up the program time as much as possible. It is more through the presence and interaction of the guests to create exposure and then feedback. onto the work.
But now, Renly has taken every opportunity to complete the publicity task, and still blended into the conversation quietly, and the publicity effect has naturally increased exponentially. For the Almeida Theater, it is a joy; and for the "Norton Show" , but Graham once again felt frustrated and lost the initiative again..
Looking into Renly's calm and calm eyes, there was no complacency, no condescension, no arrogance, but Graham felt a strong sense of frustration. The feeling of being helpless could definitely be called "The most difficult interview opponent ever”.
It was not until long after the recording of the show that Graham truly understood the specific reason..
Of course, Renly is very good, whether it is his control and reaction, or his sense of humor and sensitivity, he is definitely among the best among all the interviewees of Graham; but Graham is still not defeated and at a loss. In the final analysis , the sense of alienation brought by hereditary nobility and the mystery brought by daily life, which still restrained Graham's hands and feet..
After all, they are not able to visit members of the royal family often..
Compared to the United States, the British people feel it more profoundly, and the impact is naturally different..
If you think about it carefully, before the recording of the program, Renly released a smoke bomb and issued a warning. On the surface, Graham did not care and retaliated. In fact, the impact was everywhere, directly leading to The entire interview was at a disadvantage. The question now is, did Renly plan it intentionally? Still an unintentional move？
If it's the former……
Renly didn't seem to notice Graham's frustration, and continued, "But the fact is that the film I collaborated with Justin and Marcus is a work about folk songs. We once discussed and convened The possibility of a concert, it's really real. It's a very interesting thing.”
But the cunning light shining deep in the eyes seems to be telling the pride and joy of "the plan succeeds".
Graham inexplicably remembered the conversation he had just had: an Aries and a Scorpio. Then, he suddenly shuddered..
After realizing this, Graham's fighting spirit became high. As a talk show host, the pleasure and happiness of dialogue are the source of motivation in life. He was not willing to miss it easily, so he decided to take the initiative and then once and for all.
“So, this is what's on the calendar, the concert, right?？”
