1359 chasing after each other
Amidst the light laughter, Stark took steps ignorantly and walked towards the main hall of Radio City Music Hall. He subconsciously looked back again, and then saw Renly and Renly hanging loosely. After coming down, facing the storm of reporters, he still looked contented, which made Stark smile again and continue to move forward..
He knew that Renly successfully rescued him. Although it was natural for reporters to surround Renly, it was Renly's credit that he escaped unhurt from the reporters' pursuit. , is this considered... sacrificing oneself to save others?？
This thought gave Stark a spring in his step..
“Renly, if you win tonight, you will become the youngest EGOT winner in history, not only the first in history to win under the age of thirty, but also the first in history under the age of forty. winner, what do you think about this?？”
If we look at it from the perspective of 2018, the youngest EGOT winner in film history should be Robert Lopez. At the age of 38, it only took him ten years to complete the Grand Slam - his The last EGOT award is the Best Original Song Award from the Oscars. At the 86th Oscars on March 2, 2014, he accomplished such a feat with the theme song of "Frozen".
It is now June 9, 2013, "Frozen" has not yet been released, and Robert is still short of a statuette trophy to win his Grand Slam..
So, all the attention fell on Renly.
Imagine that before today, the youngest artist in history to achieve such an achievement was Rita Moreno. She successfully achieved it at the age of forty-six. It took a total of sixteen years, which is also the shortest..
The eldest is John Gielgud, who received the Emmy Award and completed EGOT when he was eighty-seven years old. It took him a total of thirty years to collect four trophies..
In addition, the one that took the longest was Helen Hayes. She won her first statuette in 1932, but she didn’t win the Grammy Award until 1977, which took a full 45 years..
Now, it's Renly Hall's turn.
Twenty-three years old is only half of Rita's EGOT age, and compared to John, this is already an age gap that can make her a great-grandchild; three years is only one-fifth of Rita's EGOT age, and even Helen's. One-fifteenth. This...this is simply...this is really...this is...completely jaw-dropping and unbelievable.
Any language seems pale and feeble.
Don't talk about the reporters, even Renly himself couldn't believe it. If he said he didn't have expectations, it would definitely be a false politeness; but the problem is that everything is not real and is too exaggerated, so Lan Li doesn't think he can win tonight. He needs to be patient and wait for the next opportunity. He still has enough time to slowly wait for the next opportunity..
On the contrary, Andy, Nathan and Roy were even more excited and couldn't help themselves with excitement; as well as Paul Walker, Ryan Gosling, Rooney Mara, Steven Spielberg, and the Coen brothers. He seemed even more uneasy, full of expectations and fears, and his emotions of worrying about gains and losses could not be settled at all..
Even Edith couldn't calm down and sent meaningless text messages at least three times today..
Therefore, Renly could understand the reporters' restlessness, and he also rarely showed patience..
“I'm sorry, I refuse to answer hypothetical questions. I don't want the answer at this moment to be evidence of a slap in the face in the future." The easy humor once again made everyone smile, and it was still the familiar Renly..
“So, do you hope you win the award?？”
“Of course." Without any hesitation, Renly admitted frankly. Such an honest answer seemed straightforward and free. Without any unnecessary explanation, Renly lightly shrugged and said with a smile, "But I don't think tonight belongs to me.”
“Did you expect that you would reach the heights you did tonight?？”
“To be honest, no." Renly raised his eyebrows slightly, "Although this sentence sounds particularly arrogant and harsh, the fact is that I am not a genius. I never have been..”
There was a burst of booing at the scene, and everyone complained that Renly's answer was unreliable. Someone in the crowd asked, "Then according to your definition, who is the genius?"？”
“Daniel Day-Lewis, Katharine Hepburn, Jodie Foster, Marlon Brando... This is a very, very long list. I can count it endlessly, but everyone is not here to test me tonight. The level of rapping. So, let’s stop here.” Renly’s eyes were still shining brightly, and he was still unhurried and calm in the face of such a concentrated attack..
“What about yourself? What you have now is beyond the names you say！”
“Ha, I wouldn't say that." Renly chuckled cheerfully, "First of all, we have different definitions of achievement. Awards require strength and a little bit of luck, but works don't lie. As of now. Say, my personal works have not yet reached the height of classics and need to be further tested by time. Therefore, I do not agree with your judgment..”
“What's next? "Reporters are now used to self-inflicted abuse. They will automatically complete Renly's words before he finishes them..
“Secondly, I am a hard-working actor. To be able to stand where I am now, maybe I am the person who appeared in the right place at the right time. So, I don’t think I am a genius." Renly said in a relaxed tone, but Still remained sincere.
“Renly, if you say that, you're not going to give the other actors leeway, are you?？”
“This is my plan." Renly suddenly stopped smiling and expressed his affirmation seriously..
There was silence for a moment, and then everyone chuckled helplessly. People who didn't know why Renly thought that Renly and the reporters were chatting and laughing in a harmonious way; only those who really understood knew that this was because the reporters were helpless and had no other choice..
“What do you think about EGOT?？”
“An honor that requires chance to achieve, but it is not a medal that accurately defines an artist. I always believe that works are the medium that speaks for those artists," Renly said..
“You mean, this time 'Les Misérables' can be recognized and become a classic, which is more important than awards.？”
“Yes, that's what I mean." Renly replied again..
“Some people say that after last year's Oscars, you chose to return to London's West End. All this was premeditated and aimed at this year's EGOT, because you happened to win a Grammy and an Oscar at that time..”
“Now that I think about it, I have such suspicions, but whether my plot succeeded or not, we can only know after the award ceremony tonight, right? "Renly still took the move steadily, not only with ease, but also with ease and simplicity. This calm temperament of one against a hundred is really eye-catching..
Even the other guests on the red carpet couldn't help but cast their gazes..
“So, choosing to star in "Explosive Drummer" this time, does it mean that you are aiming for the awards season this year or next year?？”
Renly pursed his lips slightly and said, "Wish me good luck..”
There was no refutation, no retaliation, or even explanation. Instead, the answers were given in a serious manner in a mocking and joking tone. This also made the reporters’ questions become more and more stupid. They always seemed to be asking questions that made no sense. On the topic, Renly could complete the answer without thinking or hesitating..
For a moment, the reporters all looked at each other. Faced with the impeccable Renly, they really had no better way..
So, like a ghost beating a wall, the question went around in circles, and the question returned to its original place, "Renly, if you win the prize tonight, what do you think?" After a pause, "I mean, if, just if.”
Even the reporters themselves realized the stupidity of the question. They circled around one focus, chasing questions endlessly, but could not find any meaningful answers at all. As Renly said, before the results came out, everything The answers are just useless assumptions. If you are not careful, you may become the butt of laughter..
Just like the 2009 Oscars, before the awards ceremony, Mickey Rourke, who has made a comeback with "The Wrestler", is undoubtedly the biggest favorite. Statistics from all major outposts predict that he will win the Best Actor that year. The statuettes included all the Golden Globe Awards, British Academy Awards and other important awards, and only lost the Screen Actors Guild Award..
So, on the red carpet, the proud Mickey put on a stylish all-white suit, attracting everyone's attention, and accepted an interview as a winner, expressing his modesty and congratulations to his opponents, etc. The result However, the Oscar for Best Actor that year was awarded to Sean Penn, who reached the top spot for the second time..
After that, Mickey's career fell into another long trough..
The reporters understood this, and Renly was not a complacent person. But... the reporters were forced to have no way out, and they turned around and returned to the same place, like a maze..
“I think at least I'm not sad or disappointed." Renly said with a smile, using another humorous and ironic way to make everyone feel powerless, and they couldn't help but shrug their shoulders and chuckle..
Afterwards, Renly did not stay any longer. After a few gestures, he took steps toward the hall..
At this time, the reporters were anxious again. They still had countless questions about tonight's historical night. Whether it was making history or passing by, it was obviously a moment worth remembering; but Renly did not stay any longer. He took any opportunity and walked away, leaving only a back figure, which made reporters express their regrets on the spot..
After entering Radio City Music Hall, Renly immediately became the center of attention.——
Not just reporters, to be precise, the entire theater industry and the entire film industry are paying attention to Renly. It is very likely that this will be a historical moment that changes the rules of the entire industry. No one can be an exception. Being in it will inevitably make everyone excited. stand up.
Renly exhaled softly, and for the rare moment he became a little nervous. Then he smiled and walked towards the direction of the crowd..
