1360 As powerful as a thousand stones
Renly's shoulder muscles tensed slightly, uncontrollably..
All the eyes of the entire Radio City Music Hall were directed towards him. Renly was like a moving little sun, shining out with endless rays of light, attracting the attention of the whole audience. His every move became the focus of everyone's discussion, every frown and every smile. have triggered countless speculations.
In this room, Renly and Stark-Sanders exchanged greetings again; in the other room, people were speculating whether Renly was deliberately excluding the other three nominees, or conversely, the other three nominees were Nominees are teaming up with Broadway veterans to sideline Renly.
On this side, Renly and Charlotte-Martin, the current president of the Broadway League, nodded; on the other side, people couldn't help but speculate whether this meant that tonight's Best Actor in a Musical was the winner. Renly is going to be the loser.
In this room, Renly stopped to chat with Lyle-Kessler, the screenwriter of this year's best drama nominee "Orphans"; in the other room, speculations about Renly's return to the theater stage have begun to abound. spread.
No one can be an exception.
In a truly literal sense, Renly's every stop, every conversation, every nod, every greeting, and even a look, everything seemed to have a hidden meaning, and every guest present at the scene was like I started reading, explaining, and analyzing from my own perspective, and tried to find clues about the direction of tonight’s awards..
This feeling is very, very special.
It's like walking in the jungle, always feeling that you can feel the peeping eyes from all directions, but when you turn your head, it is calm, and you can't find any clues at all. The feeling of rays on your back is like being on a high-altitude steel cable. Dancing wildly, all the hairs on the body stood on end, and the nerves were tense to the extreme..
In such a situation, Renly is already very sensitive. The slightest disturbance can trigger the alarm. At this moment, this sensitivity further amplifies everything, and the invisible sense of oppression becomes more and more crowded. Come over and press down slowly and heavily. The heavier and heavier force forces the body to fight back conditioned reflex, and the shoulder lines slowly become tight..
After all, Renly is just an ordinary person..
Before attending the Tony Awards, Renly had adjusted his mentality and completely ignored Nathan, who was like an ant on a hot pot, Roy and Andy, who were pretending to be calm but anxious, and the super abnormal Edith. He embraced tonight with his heart and welcomed any possible outcome calmly. Therefore, on the red carpet, Renly was able to be calm and composed..
But now, it seems that every look, every smile, and every movement is hinting or indicating that this is no ordinary night, and even carries the weight of the entire history. The huge pressure is swarming in, and death is coming. The death pressure on his chest was impossible to ignore or resolve. Like countless frames, it tightly bound Renly's limbs, trapping him in place..
make history？
People have never realized that making history is glorious and spectacular, but the difficulties and dangers involved are far beyond imagination. If you have no expectations, you can face it calmly; but after you have expectations, even the slightest expectation value, once If you miss it, the disappointment will come overwhelming and become unbearable..
Involuntarily, Renly straightened his back more and more..
Tougher, more calm, and more calm. Even the London aristocratic circle on the hell difficulty level has been broken into. Do you still need to worry about the New York Vanity Fair on the normal difficulty level? After resurrecting his life, he finally got a glimpse of a different face of the world. Perhaps, when life comes to an end again, this will become an interesting memory fragment..
Then, Renly saw Tom Hanks.
As the most influential actor in North America, Tom's appeal and influence are unmatched by anyone, not even Renly or Robert Downey Jr..
This year, Tom officially returned to the Broadway stage, starring in the work of an old friend, "The Lucky Man". This play was written by the famous Hollywood screenwriter Nora-Ephron, and they had collaborated on the popular "Seattle". sleepless night”.
Unfortunately, Nora passed away in the second half of last year and was not able to wait for the opening night of "Lucky Man"; but Tom still completed all the performances conscientiously, and with his wonderful performance of this work, he won the most prestigious award tonight. Nomination for Best Actor in a Drama.
Here’s a little fun fact about Tom and Renly.
Last year, when Renly performed on the Broadway stage, fans waiting at the back door became a beautiful sight after each performance. According to incomplete statistics, on average, more than 280 spectators stopped and waited for each performance. This also refreshes a new history of Broadway——
“"The most prosperous actor at the back door in the history of Broadway", this is a report from the "New York Post". They emphasized that although Broadway has been around for a long time, there has never been an actor with such appeal. For Broadway, which is still in the doldrums, it is tantamount to a shot in the arm.
At the beginning of this year, when Tom performed "Lucky Man", in order to break this record, his supporters specially called on fans to take turns and keep waiting. With an average of 300 viewers per night, he once again set a new record not long ago. Renly just made history.
Sure enough, this incident still made the news, and it also became a joke among the media: Tom Hanks fans are actually different from Renly Hall. Is this considered progress or regression?？
Tom was still the same Tom, exuding the aura of his father, honest and simple, warm and tolerant. He took the initiative to greet Renly, generously gave Renly a hug, and after the hug ended, he looked towards Renly. Blinking, "I know you don't like hugs..”
The subtext is that it was intentional just now.
“So, guess what other people are talking about now? "Tom had a simple and honest expression on his face, and made a joke as cunning as a fox, but it did not violate the rules at all..
Renly pursed his lips with a chuckle, and said seriously, "Let me guess: Renly and Tom's friendship has been completely over, and now they are pretending to be close, and even hugging each other exaggeratedly, trying hard to cover up their differences.？”
“……”Tom showed a slightly surprised expression, then saw the smile in Renly's eyes, and shook his head helplessly, "You know that's not what I meant..”
“You also know that I don't mean anything." Renly's answer was also vague, but Tom immediately understood..
Tom's teasing just now was about whether their intimate embrace would change other people's guesses about the trend of tonight's awards..
Renly's answer was that he had no idea about these discussions and did not care..
Tom laughed dumbly, "Really? Honestly, you have no idea at all?？”
Even Tom couldn't help but become curious at this time, because he was very far away from the EGOT. He had no interest in the Grammys, and had no intention of trying to get the EGOT; even if it was the Tony Award, Tom was always interested. There was no forcing. Now, Renly suddenly appeared, and curiosity was unavoidable..
Renly shook his head helplessly, "Tom, I thought we were friends." Since we are friends, don't ask any more questions..
“I thought so too." Tom replied, because he was a friend, he could ask without any scruples..
Renly chuckled, "I have many, many thoughts, but I'm trying not to have any thoughts right now. Sincerely, what I'm really thinking about right now is, if tonight really comes true, am I going to be the whole Public Enemy of Hollywood.”
Twenty-three-year-old EGOT? Moreover, it was completed in just three years？
Not only is the public enemy of the entire Hollywood, but also on all news media and social networks, the voices of envy, jealousy and hatred will be overwhelming. By then, Renly may really be the public enemy..
Tom nodded slightly in agreement. Back then, after he won two consecutive Oscars, he faced the same situation, and it continues to this day - he is now struggling to even receive an Oscar nomination. Indeed, His reputation and popularity are at the top of the entire Hollywood, but when it comes to performances and awards, people still habitually ignore him..
“I thought you didn't care." Tom looked at him curiously..
Renly spread his hands and showed a joking look, "Tom, you know, I'm not Superman..”
Tom nodded heavily, "Thank you for informing me, I finally got the confirmation today." Both of them couldn't help but smile, "Ignore those eyes, if you win, they will be envious; if you lose, they will pity you. But, after all, they are not you. No one except you can understand how you got here and what all this means..”
A warm current slowly flowed through Renly's heart. He did not continue to tease, but said sincerely, "Thank you..”
It’s cold at high places.
In the past, Renly thought this was a word of praise, because only by truly reaching the unreachable heights could one feel the biting cold. Then this also meant that the steps had reached the heights and won the place that everyone yearned for. everything.
Now Renly thinks this is a sad phrase, because the loneliness and loneliness hidden in it cannot be relieved. People see the "high place", but no one sees the difficulties and obstacles of climbing the "high place". Rumors and rumors are full of nonsense. Criticize the other party.
Look, Renly is feeling it now.
He hasn't even won the Tony Award, or in other words, he doesn't need to win the Tony Award. He has achieved such a height at the age of twenty-three. This is a height that countless people cannot reach in their entire lives. He can feel it now. The coldness and alienation everywhere, the loneliness everywhere were drowning him bit by bit..
If he wins a Tony tonight, will anyone else be seen around him?？
