178 Cope with ease
There was an unspeakable tension in the air. Gavin finally found out the big news, but he became nervous and his palms began to sweat again..
Objectively speaking, Renly did not directly express his views on James, let alone criticize him. He only mentioned the contribution of Danny Ball. Compared with James, Danny is the director who won the Oscar. , his strength has also received a lot of praise, and this time "127 Hours" is no exception. Therefore, there is nothing wrong with Renly's words..
But the art of conversation is obviously not that simple.
Renly didn't seem to be far behind Gavin and Andy's undercurrent, and continued, "Of course, the movie is a whole, from the director to the actors, to the script, as well as lighting, soundtrack, post-production, etc., everyone works together Complete a work. '127 Hours', with the concerted efforts of James, Danny and others, is indeed a commendable work. Overall, it is better than 'Buried Alive'.”
Gavin felt that there were too many explosive points, and he couldn't react: in Renly's brief words, it seemed that Rodrigo and James were shooting at the same time, and what was even more incredible was that "Buried Alive" was also shooting at the same time. 1 The harvest of time was so great that Gavin became frightened, "So, you are saying that you like '127 Hours' more than 'Buried Alive'? Is there any disagreement between you and the director?"？”
“Haha." Renly was directly amused by this sentence, "No, I still prefer 'Buried Alive'. I just think that from an objective point of view, '127 Hours' is indeed a more complete and mature work. During the filming of "Buried Alive", Rodrigo and I were constantly learning and groping. Our script framework was narrower and the space for play was more limited, so there was more room for me to play. For me Of course, this is a good thing. The process of filming "Buried Alive" is still unforgettable; but for the overall work, this is indeed a small regret..”
“……”This was Gavin's only reaction, but Andy standing next to him breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, when it came to professional issues, Renly remained objective and serious, neither exalting nor belittling too much. , all the facts are... Fortunately, he didn't interrupt midway, otherwise Renly's speech would have suddenly become strange..
However, Renly's straightforward way of speaking will probably offend many people in Hollywood. For example, James Franco - even if everyone knows that Renly is telling the truth, the person involved will still feel uncomfortable. More importantly, The thing is, who wants to listen to the truth?？
There were so many explosive points that Gavin didn't know where to start first, and finally chose the most direct and effective one, "So, who do you think has a better chance of being nominated for an Oscar, you or James?"？”
Renly's eyes were full of smiles, and the corners of his mouth could not help but turn up, "If it were you, who would you vote for?" Renly asked in return, and before Gavin could answer, he continued, "Now It's only September and I guess the Oscars aren't a topic we need to be talking about, and the Toronto Film Festival organizing committee won't like what we're talking about right now..”
Gavin laughed loudly, "No, on the contrary, I think they are very happy to see such a topic brought up more." He glanced at his watch from the corner of his eyes. Time passed so fast, because he was a little late. And it disrupted the plan again. In fact, he hasn't asked about many hot topics, such as Renly's two singles, and interesting things during the filming of "Pacific War"... But this is the first exclusive interview. , he can’t be too greedy.
“Last question." Gavin said quickly, "Do you have any plans for your next work? "First was "Pacific War", and then "Buried Alive". Renly's two works so far are indeed unique, which also makes people more interested in his future plans. "It is rumored that there are already superhero movies. Started to contact you？”
Renly pursed his lips, and the meaningfulness in his smile made Gavin think that he had guessed it right. Unexpectedly, Renly gave an unexpected answer, "Is this how the news is spread now? By a third party Come and tell the person involved that something has happened?" Gavin was stunned, "If you get the exact information, you are welcome to come and tell me immediately..”
Gavin was amused by Renly's casual and teasing tone. Before he could respond, the door to the room was knocked again. Andy went to open the door. Gavin could only quickly pack up his things. The open briefcase seemed to be the same as There was no difference half an hour ago, making people unable to feel the passage of time at all..
He casually stuffed the things into his briefcase and looked up to see Renly standing up. He took the initiative to extend his right hand. Gavin quickly took Renly's right hand and said, "Today's interview was very pleasant. Thank you..”
“It's my pleasure." Renly seemed to have regained his impression of the gentlemanly courtesy, and joked with a chuckle, "I hope there will be an opportunity for an exclusive interview next time..”
If Renly is as fleeting as a meteor, then of course there will be no chance for an exclusive interview. Renly's words were obviously a joke, and Gavin showed a big smile, "By the way, you, this is my choice. "Oscar nomination, James or Renly, this is his answer. After saying that, Gavin took a step forward, turned around and left, and saw Bradley Adams, a reporter from the New York Times..
Bradley showed a big smile to Gavin, his eyes flashed with sympathy. Gavin didn't quite understand, but he still nodded politely and left the hotel room..
Bradley was surprised that there were people who were as optimistic about Renly's development prospects as he was - he made an appointment for an interview before the premiere of "Buried Alive", but he didn't expect that he was still half a beat behind Gavin. "Us Weekly ", with their blessing, the name "Renly Hall" will soon spread throughout the United States, not to mention whether people care about him, but at least there will be a major breakthrough in name recognition. , it seems that competition will become more intense in the future.
After retracting his thoughts, Bradley quickly walked forward, took the initiative to shake hands with Renly, and introduced himself. Unexpectedly, Renly said with a smile, "I know you, on the red carpet of the Emmy Awards." , that was our second meeting, right?？”
This time it was Bradley's turn to be surprised, and he couldn't react for a while. There are too many reporters in Hollywood, tens of thousands of them, and top reporters are rare. Therefore, generally speaking, actors want to remember the reporter's face. , this is extremely difficult. I didn’t expect Renly to remember them all.！
Renly was very calm. If Bradley took a walk around the British aristocracy and upper class society, he would know that this is nothing at all. There are hundreds of family members behind a surname. Sometimes, even the hereditary butler of this family , servants, priests, etc. must also remember their names and faces.
“I still don’t know, what media are you a reporter from? "Renly's words made Bradley regain his composure, and he said confidently and calmly, "The New York Times’.”
Gavin closed the door of the hotel room smoothly, and then saw everyone within sight looking at him, and the mixed gazes almost swallowed him alive..
Every reporter knows that on such a special occasion as a film festival, whether it is an ordinary interview or an exclusive interview, it is more advantageous to be in front. The reason is simple. An actor and a crew may have to accept dozens of media interviews throughout the day. bombs in turn, and the questions asked by each media are similar. Even if the questions are different, the answers may be similar. Even if it is a joke, it is not funny if it is repeated over and over thirty times in one day..
Interviewing actors when they are most energetic and in the most positive mood can often yield unexpected results; but in the second half, especially at the end, the actors may ignore them and answer with shorter and shorter sentences. Simple.
Now, today's golden opportunity falls into Gavin's hands. Who knows how much good information is hidden in his voice recorder?？
Cornell McGregor trotted up to meet him, hooked Gavin's shoulder, "Brother, you did this big thing behind your back, and you didn't say anything about it? God! I really have you.！”
Gavin originally wanted to refute. When the two of them saw Renly together, it was Connell who gave up this line. But then he thought about it, and Gavin suddenly had an idea and did not resist Connell's pull. Under that sharp and hot gaze, he left the corridor and walked to the safety stairs..
“Man, how was it? Did you learn anything today? Come on, share it with me. I don't ask for exclusives, just scraps." Cornell lowered his voice and discussed, "Now the editor-in-chief can't push me, and they say that James Franco can easily get it. But Renly can't keep up with the progress here, so we're falling behind." Anyway, many media outlets will finish their interviews today, so the exclusive is probably out of the question, and general news will be enough - not to mention, Gavin is the first to interview. , there must be more good stuff.
Gavin didn't refuse at all. He and Cornell were college classmates and had known each other for many years. After graduation, one went to "American Weekly" and the other to "Entertainment Weekly". They had competed and of course collaborated. Their relationship was extraordinary. , so he didn’t go around in circles, “Didn’t you follow Natalie’s line? Tell me, what did you find?.”
Cornell was stunned: Gavin was actually willing to trade Natalie's news for Renly's news? This is not an equal exchange! However, Gavin would definitely not engage in loss-making business, so this meant that there was something fishy hidden in Natalie's news that he didn't know about. In an instant, he made a judgment, "There has been no news in the past two days, Na." Tully stayed with the crew all the time, and then their publicist invited all the extras and stunt doubles from the crew to a party. At other times, Natalie stayed at home at all..”
Gavin pondered for a moment, recalling Renly's words just now, and a bold idea came to him, "When Natalie was acting with the crew, was Benjamin there?？”
“Nonsense, of course, Benjamin is the chief choreographer." Cornell said matter-of-factly, then he saw Gavin's meaningful expression, paused, and said incredulously, "No...it can't be.？”
“Why not? Gavin's retort made Connell choke, "The question now is why Natalie is willing to spread the scandal with Renly but is unwilling to expose it.？”
