1794 Something else to think about
“Renly！”
“Kate.”
The surprise call in his ears made Renly, who finally sat down on the red chair, raise his head and escape from his thoughts. Then he saw the dignified and elegant Cate Blanchett standing diagonally in front of him. He opened his hands and made a warm hug as a greeting..
Renly showed a faint smile and shook his head gently..
Kate stood insistently and said with a smile, "Please, a gentleman will not let a lady stand here and embarrass herself. I know you don't like hugs, but I insist.”
“It's my pleasure." Renly stood up, and then Kate rushed over happily, gave Renly a big hug, and cheered in a low voice, "Wow, I finally hugged Renly." Then, Kate regained her footing, "You know, some of the little carrots in my family never tire of asking me why I haven't hugged Renly? Why haven't I worked with Renly? Why didn't I say hello to Renly? For God's sake, I'm the queen of the house, okay?？”
The words were obviously complaints, but they revealed a hint of pampering. Kate's face glowed with a hint of maternal light, and the tenderness between her eyebrows became different..
“You know, young people always think that things stated on the Internet are the truth, and the truths from parents and books are already antiques." Renly said with a smile..
Kate's eyes widened immediately, and she gestured to Renly with both hands, emphasizing her surprise with gestures, "Look, look! It turns out that young people understand young people, why not like this, I will invite you to my home some other time, by Come and tell our little rabbits what is going on in society..”
“I thought you would extend the invitation as a friend. However, this is acceptable. I am always ready to visit you at home." Renly's easy-to-find humor flowed lightly between the words, always making people laugh. The conversation remained pleasant, and then he did not forget to take care of the guests on the right side of the seat. He turned his head and shook his head solemnly and said, "I am very sure and certain that I am not the father of any child yet..”
Kate and Renly chatted about their parents, but they didn't expect that Renly could still answer the conversation smoothly. For onlookers, it was inevitable that they would be a little suspicious and curious..
But obviously, the focus of the conversation just now was not "Parents", but Kate sent an invitation to Renly, but did not send an invitation to other guests around. Even if it was a polite greeting in a social occasion, the idea of taking care of other guests was not It was an easy thing, but Renly used a clever topic change to shift the focus to an interesting perspective, and joked about it in a self-deprecating way, and the atmosphere suddenly became joyful..
The seating arrangement for tonight’s awards ceremony deserves careful consideration.
Renly was placed in the first row in the center, close to the left aisle. This was undoubtedly one of the core focuses of the entire venue: a location that neither the camera nor the host could miss. It was also where the award recipients who walked onto the stage must pass. One of the two channels, the entire venue is bound to be covered by the camera.
Not only that, on his left are Best Actress nominee Cate Blanchett and her partner Andrew Upton, and on his right are Best Supporting Actress nominees Meryl Streep and Her partner Don-Gummer, followed by Bradley Cooper, and Jennifer Lawrence and Nicholas Hoult who met as a couple in the red carpet interview area; behind him were Best Director nominee Alfonso Cuaron.
The seating arrangement of the Oscars ceremony is very mysterious. Those who can appear in the first and second rows of the central area are all popular actors at the top of the Hollywood pyramid. On the one hand, this is to take care of the camera's live broadcast lens selection, and on the other hand, it is for It’s easy for hosts to find targets for ridicule when they come on stage, and their exposure and attention are very important..
Tonight, Lan Lidang appeared in the focus area, and the previously highly sought-after Matthew McConaughey, Chiwetel Ejiofor and others were all arranged in the first row of the left and right wings, attracting attention. The level of distinction is clear. The negative rumors that have been circulating throughout the entire awards season can finally come to an end for the time being. "Academy Darling" is still a hot topic..
In addition, the crew of "American Hustle" strongly occupied the first and second rows of seats in the central area, and even director David O. Russell sat on the right side of the first row; while "Slave" The two popular works "Twelve Years" and "Gravity" had to give up their positions, which also released some signals in advance..
After Renly and Kate's simple greetings ended, the two of them sat down. After becoming quiet again, Renly couldn't help but think of Ryan's answer just now.：
“Robert has not concealed his support for you at all. He revealed that he is discussing with you to open a unit or section at Sundance, hoping to support more independent film artistic creation. Maybe in the form of a foundation, maybe in the form of a non-profit organization. The format and specifics of the competition unit are still in the discussion stage, but he said that your determination is the fundamental reason for his decision to act..”
Ryan's source is Robert Redford.
Of course, Robert did not tell the truth, nor did he directly mention Sisyphus Pictures. Instead, he mentioned some plans at a private party, citing the future development of Sundance; but Ryan knew Renly well enough. , the first reaction was to call Roy and ask about it, and then he initially learned about Renly's plan..
“Many people said that Robert made a special trip to endorse you during this year's awards season. If I didn't know you well enough, I would know that you must be wholeheartedly dedicated to independent films. The time of Sundance is so special, so this coincidence happened. Otherwise, I would almost believe these rumors.”
From the understatement in a few words, Renly could not figure out the whole story. He had no way of knowing how much effort Robert had put into various occasions in the college's public relations. He also had no way of knowing whether Robert was just reciprocating the favor or sincere, but he was willing to believe it. For the sake of independent films, Robert did not include any impurities or selfish thoughts - in comparison, he could not be 100% honest..
It is true that the future blueprint of Sisyphus Films includes huge plans for independent films, but Renly also has selfish motives. He hopes that he will not betray Andre's trust. He hopes that he can participate in more independent films as he wishes. He also hopes that he can have more companions on the road to his dreams..
Compared to Robert, he is still not honest enough.
So, Ryan's simple words set off a storm deep in Renly's heart. He sat quietly on the chair, immersed in his own thoughts, and the smile on the corner of his mouth could not help but rise slightly.——
Sitting in the Dolby Theater attending the Oscars, my mind was thinking about independent films and the persistence of artistic creators. Thoughts and actions showed two different development trends. Is this another interpretation of different paths leading to the same goal? ? If so, then what exactly is the goal of "returning together"? If not, then how should he choose?？
“Renly? Meryl gently bumped Renly's right hand with her elbow and called in a low voice. Renly turned his head and said, "It's starting." Meryl reminded her with her mouth..
While I was thinking, the lights of the Dolby Theater were slowly dimming, and the restlessness at the scene gradually settled down. This also meant that the awards ceremony was about to officially begin..
Renly smiled at Meryl and expressed his gratitude, then put away his thoughts, temporarily put all those reflections in the back of his mind, and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the grand event in front of him - no matter what happened in the past, no matter what What's next? At least, this party feast is a summary of the past 2013. Let them relax and enjoy it tonight.
Last year, the Academy boldly appointed Seth MacFarlane as the host. It cannot be said to be a failure, but it cannot be said to be a success. Seth's boldness and courage won applause from young people and created widespread popularity on social networks. Discussions were frenzied; but Seth's breakthroughs and breakthroughs have also become the target of criticism from countless professionals, and the wave of condemnation has even surpassed the praise. This made the academy realize that reform is imperative, but they cannot act too hastily..
This year, after careful consideration, the Academy invited Ellen DeGeneres back.
At the 79th Awards Ceremony seven years ago, Ellen showed her sense of humor, and her funny style was suitable for the whole family - the "Ellen Show" is a morning talk show, and it is on social networks It also has a certain degree of popularity; more importantly, she is a female host, and she has also come out publicly, which really plays an important role in changing the stereotype of the academy..
this looks like a good idea.
At least that's the case in the opening stages.
When Ellen DeGeneres appeared on the stage in a handsome black suit, the audience gave warm applause, and you could even hear whistles from the men, which made Ellen reveal With a bright smile, she also whistled in response, which caused the whole audience to burst into laughter..
Allen spread his hands and made a confused expression, as if to say: Isn't that how he responded?？
Then, Allen showed a bright smile and nodded to the applause around him, "Thank you. Thank you. Thank you." When the applause gradually subsided, Allen stood still and kept a stiff movement, "Uh. , has it stopped? I was expecting more applause, you know, just like the last time Renly was a guest on my show, the applause made him unable to speak at all, oh, it seems that I thought too much, I am not the protagonist tonight, I am just responsible for introducing the protagonist...the protagonist.”
The whole audience burst into laughter.
Allen shrugged, "I think there is no problem with my use of nouns, right? Sir Renly Hall.”
