“Well, I'd better start with the basic information, what kind of person are you?？”
Renly couldn't help but smile when he heard Gavin's first formal question, but he did not directly refute it, but thought about it seriously, "This is a philosophical question, and I am still exploring it. Who am I?" , where should I go……”
Gavin immediately realized that there was something wrong with the way he asked the question. Renly's words made him burst into laughter. Seeing the narrowed light in Renly's eyes, Gavin felt his back begin to sweat again, "I mean, currently everyone I know too little about you. Whether it is the Screen Actors Guild or IMDB, there is very little information about you. I think we can at least understand some basic information..”
“Basic information? "Renly's final voice rose slightly, and he didn't quite understand the meaning of this question..
Gavin further explained, “Nowadays, except for your height, weight, and birthday, all other information on the Internet is completely blank.……”
Renly showed an interested look, "I thought this was enough. Do you need any special information for actors? I thought our works were the best business cards..”
Gavin couldn't help but froze, and his expression was awkward for a moment - he was a reporter from "American Weekly", and he was still used to conducting interviews in a gossipy way. It was their style to explore privacy, and now Renly suddenly responded so openly and openly, He was caught off guard, but luckily he was well prepared in advance and calmed down quickly..
“This is what I mean. Regarding your work, we currently do not have any information, including your past experience. Of course, there are more detailed information, for example, we all know that you are British, but your hometown Where exactly? Are your ancestry from different ethnic groups? Your experiences as a child and your experiences as an adult, as well as your hair color, eye color, etc..”
Listening to Gavin's question, Renly couldn't help but laugh. It was a bit ridiculous, but also a bit funny. "You mean, someone really cares about these details? I thought that the United States is a country of immigrants, and Hollywood embraces people from all over the world. Actors everywhere, no one cares about such trivial matters. Not to mention, I'm an actor, not a rugby player.”
Gavin could feel the sarcasm in Renly's words, but he did not panic, "Don't you know? You have really created a lot of miracles in recent times, and the discussion about you on the Yahoo community has never stopped; However, there is really too little information about you so far. All netizens are enthusiastically expressing their opinions. All the issues I just mentioned are topics for discussion..”
Renly pursed his lips and nodded slightly, but had no intention of answering. In Renly's view, the detailed information was not important at all. He had no intention of becoming a model..
After Gavin finished his long speech, the room suddenly fell into silence, which made Gavin even more nervous. He subconsciously wiped the sweat from his hands and looked down at the list of questions he had prepared, "Then if you participate in an audition, , how would you introduce yourself?？”
“Good morning, my name is Renly Hall. I am twenty years old. Today I am auditioning for the role of Paul Conroy. I have prepared a performance. Can I start now?？”
After listening to Renly's answer, Gavin couldn't help but choked and was speechless. Renly's self-introduction was completely correct, but he didn't know how to answer the question. Then Gavin said Seeing the smile on the corner of Renly's mouth, he burst into laughter. Obviously, if the interview continues according to the original interview method, then today's interview time will be wasted..
After thinking about it, Gavin simply put the list of questions back on the table, completely giving up the original plan, "From 'Pacific War' to 'Buried Alive,' people have given you a lot of praise for your performance. Many people I'm guessing that you are an actor from a traditional academic school, is that right?？”
The interview finally raised a quality question, "Yes, I graduated from the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London and received a complete two-year academy education." Renly did not respond to Gavin's praise humbly, but frankly He answered confidently, "While studying at the college, I interned in the West End of London for about half a year. After graduation, I came to New York and worked on Off-Broadway for a while until I got the opportunity to perform in 'The Pacific War'. So. , yes, I am indeed from a traditional academic background..”
“West End? Off Broadway? It's rare for a young person like you to be able to calm down and immerse yourself in a stage play." Gavin was a little surprised..
As we all know, most British actors will continue to polish themselves in stage plays, but many young actors are often confused by the flowers and applause of Vanity Fair after coming to Hollywood. Renly chose New York instead of Los Angeles, which is interesting in itself. thing.
“In the beginning, this was a performance task from the academy, but the feeling of standing on the stage and performing is very special. Before you know it, you will become one with the character and truly feel the charm of the performance." Renly had a look of great interest on his face, and you could tell that when he mentioned acting, his eyes were shining with excitement, "After finishing filming 'War in the Pacific,' I returned to New York and devoted myself again. I had a very fulfilling life working in an Off-Broadway performance..”
“There was a gap of more than half a year between 'The Pacific' and 'Buried Alive'. Were you involved in both Off-Broadway shows? Gavin showed an expression of surprise. This was the real surprise. After all, Renly had already worked with top names in "War in the Pacific". After the filming, he was able to maintain his normalcy and return to Off-Broadway—— And it’s not Broadway yet, so it’s really impressive. “So, what’s the name of the play? Are there any famous works?？”
“No, no no." Renly showed a bright smile and shook his head, looking very relaxed, "Several plays I participated in were experimental works, and one of them was produced by students from Columbia University. Don't mention the name. I can’t even find relevant information on the Internet.”
No wonder. This explains the reason. All netizens who mobilized have not been able to dig out more information..
“What I remember most is the performance in a semi-basement." Renly's expression showed a thoughtful look, and the corners of his relaxed mouth turned up involuntarily, "There can only accommodate a maximum of thirty people. During the performance that day, the audience was only There were probably more than a dozen people, but that play mobilized a total of twenty-three people. In other words, we even had more actors than the audience. Later, the actors who had no acting tasks all sat down under the stage, pretending to be the audience, and followed along. applaud.”
Renly himself couldn't help but smile, but Gavin showed a look of astonishment, "But that kind of performance experience is really special. Because these audiences are not high-level intellectuals on Broadway, they are just simple theater lovers—— Or they are just bored spectators passing the time, so their reactions are very direct, and their emotions can often be felt during the performance... Haha." Renly couldn't help but chuckle, which made Gavin look puzzled. , "At the end, I simply walked off the stage and invited the audience to join us. The performance that day was indeed very interesting..”
Gavin was really dumbfounded. On the surface, Renly looked like a completely disciplined gentleman, and even had the traditional British abstinence style; he couldn't relate it to something with a civilian temperament like Off-Broadway or underground theater. .But if you think about it carefully, there is a huge difference between Renly's two roles so far. This not only shows Renly's ambition as an actor, but also shows Renly's drive to challenge the limits..
“I can't imagine that kind of scene, but I can imagine your joy and happiness." Gavin couldn't help but exclaimed, "So you must have been uncomfortable in the past period of time, right? Suddenly, all the spotlight is on you. This has obviously changed dramatically from your previous life..”
“In fact, before Toronto, I didn’t have any real feelings.” Renly told the truth, “I can still go out on the streets normally and go anywhere freely. Occasionally, some viewers can recognize me, but they call me My name is not mentioned. So, overall, I feel okay.”
Seeing Renly's calm expression, Gavin shrugged, "I don't know about the others, but for media reporters, everyone is extremely lively. Now in the hotel corridor, there are at least thirty reporters waiting for interviews. Your chance.I'm the first one today.”
“I guess the Emmy Awards may still have some weight." Renly's teasing made Gavin laugh out loud, and the next question came naturally..
“Since you won the Emmy Award, you have been the focus of discussion continuously, and some people on the Internet even doubted whether you have a strong background in the entertainment industry, just like Emma Roberts." Gavin finally asked about the first gossip, and he couldn't help but He was a little excited. This reminded him of the first interview he got after becoming a reporter. He was young and excited..
“Haha." This was Renly's first reaction. After thinking about it seriously, he couldn't help laughing again. "I have been crossing my fingers and praying for this day to come, but obviously, I lacked a little luck..”
“But, after the Emmy Awards, why did you choose to perform on the street? This is indeed surprising, and many people believe that this was staged in advance." Gavin's questions began to become sharper, and his edge gradually emerged..
“If you want to think so, that's their freedom." Surprisingly, Renly didn't defend himself, but shrugged calmly, "Although I don't know, shooting a street performance video and then uploading it to YouTube, this pair How does my career as an actor help; but...it is my honor to entertain netizens.”
Lan Li's upright posture made Gavin speechless. He thought for a while and asked aggressively, "So you are saying that your family really has no acting background?"？”
“If so, so what? "Renly asked directly back without any evasion, and Gavin was choked..
