1374 return to calm
“So what’s next? What other awards do you hope to win?？”
“……Oscar.”
“I thought it would be Venice.”
Unexpectedly, Renly did not choose the award he lacked, but chose the Oscar where he made history, which surprised Bradley..
Renly smiled and nodded slightly, "If I have the opportunity to star in a European film, I will look forward to Venice even more. It is indeed a very special award; but now, I mostly star in films in the United States, and I still set my goal." Be around. This is more practical and more real..”
“But the problem is, there have been rumors that 'Gravity' is going to Venice this year." Bradley added..
Renly laughed happily, "Have you been preparing this question for a long time?？”
“I'm not the only one." Bradley said frankly, "In fact, before the Tony Awards ceremony officially started, or to be more precise, it should be after the Cannes Film Festival ended, the discussion had already started. At the beginning, Sean -Pan has won the three major European film festivals for three consecutive years, setting a record. Now people are also looking forward to whether you can replicate such a feat..”
Especially after EGOT, if Renly can take advantage of the situation to reach the top of Venice in September this year, then this will be a truly unparalleled move. Even the reporter who dislikes Renly the most cannot deny that such a historical moment will make the heart tremble..
In recent times, the Venice Film Festival seems to have sensed an opportunity. They have successively begun to promote and build momentum, repeatedly emphasizing that if nothing unexpected happens, "Gravity" will land in Venice..
Why？
The reason is simple. If "Gravity" is confirmed to be released in Venice, then there is a huge possibility for Renly to win Best Actor at the three major European film festivals. In addition, he has just completed the feat of EGOT. All of this is writing a story. Incomparable and unsurpassable golden years, no one is willing to miss it, and no one dares to miss it.
Naturally, reporters from all over North America will flock here. Even if there is head-on competition from Toronto, Venice can still easily gain the upper hand; even fanatical movie fans cannot resist such temptation. It is conceivable that this year Venice will definitely become the global focus, and even Cannes cannot compare with it..
The new president of the Venice Film Festival, Alberto Barbera, is doing his best to seize this opportunity. The new official has three things to do when he takes office. For Alberto, a great opportunity is right in front of him, and there is no reason to refuse to go all out..
Not only Bradley, but now the whole of North America is being discussed, and the whole of Europe is also paying attention..
As a party involved, Renly couldn't help laughing happily, "Although I know this is a kind of bubble, I still feel very honored..”
After teasing, Renly continued, "I will not make presets in advance. Now Alfonso is in post-production. Whether we can catch up with Venice is still unknown; even if we can, but as I just said, I think This is Alfonso's work. I am just a piece of the puzzle. I don't expect any awards..”
Seeing that Bradley wanted to continue asking, Renly stopped him with his eyes and added, "If the discussion comes to actually winning the award, I will still stick to the answer just now. I am currently trying to show my goodwill to the academy. Didn't you hear it?？”
The joking tone and ridiculing words made Bradley helplessly laugh, but in the end he still refused to give up and asked, "Don't you expect to win the Venice Best Actor?"？”
“I'm not sure Woody Allen or Daniel Day-Lewis would be happy, but if it were me, yes, I would be." Renly's mood was bright and light, and he replied again with witty banter..
Bradley was very satisfied with the answer and did not continue to ask further questions. He asked another question, "Judging from the answer just now, you mean that if you have the opportunity in the future, you are willing to star in European movies."？”
“Wow, so, you're not going to miss any chance today, are you? "Renly said with a smile on his face. It was just a hint of the topic, but Bradley actually caught it firmly..
Bradley spread his hands and did not answer. He followed Renly's example and lightly shrugged, expressing his affirmation with a calm look. This was a kind of repayment of kindness.？
Renly couldn't help laughing and nodded slightly, "That's fair." Then he thought about it carefully. In fact, the words he just blurted out without careful consideration. Now that he came back to his senses and considered it carefully, he still nodded in affirmation. "why not？”
Language and culture are not a problem, and performance is not a problem, the prerequisites are already there; what's more, European movies always have characteristics that American movies do not have. This is indeed a good challenge, German movies, French movies, Nordic movies , Italian films all have their own unique qualities..
“You just said that you might star in more commercial films in the future. Now it seems like you are gradually drifting away, isn't it? It’s not even an independent film, but a European film.” Bradley complained mercilessly that Europe is still dominated by art films, and the commercial film system is far less mature and complete than Hollywood..
“Hey, this is the question you asked, you can't put the responsibility on me." Renly emphasized his position with an expression of protest, then smiled again and explained, "No, I mean, I Willing to open up more possibilities. This is true for commercial films, and it is also true for European films. I am willing to accept different challenges.”
“Even a Marvel superhero movie? "Bradley immediately seized the opportunity and asked questions wherever possible..
Renly laughed happily, "Why is everyone curious about this question? I always feel that in every interview, someone is curious about this question. Is this what you just called a work that 'fits my appearance'? I see. Does he really look like a superhero?？”
Bradley was speechless.
To be honest, Renly is not a typical superhero, at least he doesn't look like it. Although Marvel has broken the previous fixed concepts of superheroes and is accepting more and more possibilities, Renly still doesn't look like that. Typical appearance options.
“Because Marvel movies are so successful now, and you are one of the most high-profile actors now, everyone is looking forward to you starring as a superhero... right? Bradley was a little unsure, "It would be strange if we didn't discuss it together.".”
Even top actors like Tom Cruise and Will Smith have been struggling to find opportunities to star in superhero movies. So Renly is no exception..
After thinking about it seriously, Bradley added, "Also, not long ago, you played the role of a civilian hero and saved the delivery boy. This matter is still on the social network platform until now. There is a lot of discussion, and everyone thinks that you are the most suitable actor to play a superhero. This is a good opportunity to further expand your awareness..”
Renly chuckled, "So, what you're saying is that I need superheroes to further expand my mass base.？”
With a rhetorical question, Bradley was speechless again. There was no problem when he said it. Now that Renly hit back, he suddenly became strange. He couldn't refute it. Why did it feel weird?？
Fortunately, Renly did not pursue him, but said with relief, "This is not the first time I have answered relevant questions, but I hope this is the last time. I am making a formal statement and I am willing to open up all possibilities.".”
“So, maybe this includes superhero movies too? "Bradley asked carefully..
“Yes." Renly's answer was still crisp and clear..
Bradley blinked, and then realized that he had caught the big news. If nothing else, this was the first time Renly had given a positive answer publicly and directly.！
“yeah! "Bradley clenched his fist heavily. This action brought a smile to Renly's eyes, and asked half-jokingly, "Are you happy because you got an interview with important news? Or are you happy because of the news itself?？”
Bradley was slightly stunned, "...Both..”
Renly raised his eyebrows slightly, "So, who is the superhero you think is suitable for me?？”
Bradley thought about it for a while, but found that he really couldn't imagine Renly wearing tights. That was really weird! Who is a superhero who doesn’t need to wear tights? For a moment, Bradley couldn't remember. Then, Bradley realized something was wrong, "...Wait a minute, you are the interviewee and I am the interviewer. Don't switch our positions, okay?"？”
Renly shook his head slightly, "This is not an interview, but an exchange..”
Bradley glanced at Renly angrily, "There is no difference!" Renly raised his hands in surrender and did not continue the argument. Bradley continued to ask, "Then what next? What do you think? Will your life change? I mean, do you need to rest and adjust for a while? Or do you need to start preparing for your new album? After all, EGOT is different..”
“I guess so." Renly nodded in affirmation, "But I'm trying to keep the same pace and return to a peaceful life. You know, there are still many, many more things in our lives, and we can't be partying 24 hours a day. Status. Not to mention, I don’t want this to be a lifetime achievement award.”
“Haha." Bradley laughed happily.
Renly himself couldn't help but smile, and continued, "I still long to perform on the camera and on the stage, and I still long to explore different performance methods. Regarding the album, I have no concepts or ideas for the time being, but what is certain is that first of all , I will start the filming of 'Breaking Drummer', which is not an easy work to complete.”
“No idea yet? Does this mean that if you have a concept, you might still release an album? "Bradley caught another little tail.
“Of course, why not? "Renly's answer was also very straightforward..
From music to movies to drama, the conversation between Renly and Bradley continues, but the meaning of the interview is slowly disappearing, and everything returns to the daily routine of life..
