Obviously, this is not the first time Renly has been bathed in a halo of praise, and it will not be the last time. The screening of "Explosive Drummer" once again focused all attention on Renly..
“best of the year！”
The review from the "Hollywood Reporter" did not hesitate to give the highest praise to Renly. Among the many wonderful performances, he still chose Renly. Film critic Michael Phillips even wrote a long article, Discuss specifically Renly's performance and show your love for it.
“Whether it is method or expressionism, they are both methods of acting, and for every actor, skills are indispensable, because skills allow actors to find the most correct and effective way to perform; but Similarly, techniques must be given up, because techniques may limit an actor's performance like a framework. Naturally, how to find a balance between technique and spirituality has become a topic for every actor..
In "Blast Drummer", Renly Hall's performance stripped away all technical frameworks, as if returning to the state of a toddler, showing the most primitive and vigorous performance state. After being perfectly integrated with the character, he moved every move. You can feel the bloody atmosphere. The almost rough and simple performance throws out all the emotions in a full-throwing way, hitting every audience member hard..
At the same time, Renly-Hall cleverly hides the emotional levels, the character's eyes and the space for aftertaste in the performance breaks. A look, an action or a back view - or even a blank space can all click. So far, the finishing touch has been to drag the audience into the world of the characters, and truly appreciate the reality behind that bloody world. The aftertaste of reflection is hidden behind that disgusting state of excitement, waiting to be discovered..
Such a natural performance seems to take no effort at all, truly making the performance an art and watching the performance a pleasure..
If you look purely at performance skills, "The Boomstick" is indeed not the most complicated one in Renly Hall's career; but in terms of the performance as a whole, "The Boomstick" has witnessed another transformation of Renly Hall. and progress, truly making people feel his maturity in performance..
Is this Renly Hall's career best? Everyone has their own views and opinions, personally I'm looking forward to Renly's next role in the next film; so, is this the best of 2014? Undoubtedly！”
Michael Phillips's comments truly pushed Renly to an incredible peak. The meaning behind his words has already classified Renly as an actor of another level. He can be called a veteran actor at the palace level. This is beyond the ordinary level of praise and can definitely be called the highest honor..
As the most authoritative and professional magazine in the industry, the film reviews of "The Hollywood Reporter" are definitely not groundless. It just proves that after the peak glory of two consecutive works last year, Hollywood's attitude towards Renly has changed fundamentally. They have finally Begins to ignore Renly's "youth" and instead truly treats Renly as a "Master of the Hall".
There is no doubt that Renly has become a popular candidate in the competition for Best Actor during this year's awards season - to be precise, in the past few years, Renly's name can always be seen among the popular candidates, just like Meryl Stewart. Like Rip, as long as she stars in the work, she will be competitive.
This is no longer news.
More importantly, from the "Hollywood Reporter" to the "New York Times" to "Empire", all professional and authoritative media unanimously pushed Renly to the top, pushing Renly to the top of the film industry in one fell swoop. Competing for the frontrunner position, he has become the most popular candidate so far in this year’s awards season..
But it’s not good news for Harvey Weinstein.
It can be seen from the trajectory of Weinstein Films' acquisition of film distribution rights in the first half of the year that Harvey's main goal this year is to lock the leading actor position - of course, the main goals are still Best Picture and Best Director, but in the individual awards Above, Harvey’s strategy has clearly shifted..
It is obvious that after experiencing the double impact of "Gravity" and "Drunken Country Folk", Harvey also realized the change in the direction of Hollywood.：
Now Renly's reputation has reached a new peak. If Renly cannot be prevented from winning the second Best Actor Award in time, then Renly's position as "Master of the Hall" will be truly fulfilled. By then, Renly will be able to compete with Tom Hanks , Meryl Streep and others are on an equal footing, which also means that those ordinary slanders and slanders can no longer shake Renly's status; those simple methods and tricks can no longer damage Renly's reputation..
This is definitely not the situation Harvey wants to see.
Harvey understands that he needs to stop Renly as soon as possible, either this year or next year. All possibilities will happen within the next two years - the most likely is this year. Select from Renly's works You can tell, next are "Jurassic World" and "Rogue One". Renly's absence during the awards season next year is a high probability event, but this year there is a film "Explosion Drummer" that swept the army at Sundance. "...This is the simplest math problem.
Therefore, Harvey also aimed at this year, starting from Sundance and continuing to the end of the year. You can get a glimpse of it from the production and distribution list of Weinstein Films.
Among them, there are only two works that lock the heroine position, "The Princess of Morocco" starring Nicole Kidman and "Big Eyes" starring Amy Adams”.
Harvey had high hopes for the former, but unfortunately, when the work landed at the Cannes Film Festival in May, it encountered a lot of criticism and was buried in an instant. It is difficult to make a difference during the awards season, and then Harvey brought this work After visiting several other film festivals, the reputation was sluggish. In the end, Harvey simply gave up on the work and did not choose to release it in theaters but directly broadcast it on TV channels and small screens..
The latter is the only remaining achievement in the heroine position of Weinstein Films this year - it has not yet entered any film festivals, and there is still a question mark on how to release it in the future..
However, there are four works that have locked the leading actor position, and each of them is highly anticipated and highly anticipated..
The French biographical film "Yves Saint Laurent" received rave reviews when it was released in France at the beginning of the year. At the end of the year, it won eight nominations for the French César Awards. Pierre-Niney, the leading actor, was even more nominated. Best Actor Hot Picks.
The highly acclaimed "Saint Vincent" at the Toronto Film Festival is undoubtedly this year's comedy dark horse. Bill Murray is one of the Academy's favorite comedians and has already been nominated for a Golden Globe Award..
“"The Imitation Game" defeated "Crackling Drummer" to win the People's Choice Award in Toronto. This has already put the work into the first group of contenders for the best picture during the awards season. The biographical theme undoubtedly makes this work's Oscar prospects brighter, and Benedick Cumberbatch is also gaining popularity and is undoubtedly the most appealing and impactful candidate during this year’s awards season..
"The Theory of Everything", which also premiered in Toronto, is Harvey's trump card. The entire production team was built through the Weinstein Films and built around Eddie Redmayne. Harvey has high hopes for film, best director, best actress and other important categories, and best actor is the top priority. Male protagonists with biographies and disabilities will undoubtedly be a heavy weapon during the awards season..
Judging from the current situation, the four works are neck and neck, and all four male protagonists are in the first group in the competition for best actor during the awards season. Overall, "The Imitation Game" has more competitiveness in the best film, and "Yves Saint Laurent" " and "The Theory of Everything" have more opportunities in the Best Actor category, but Weinstein Pictures has no plans to give up just yet. The four works are operating at the same time, waiting for time to go by to gradually find the strongest one who stands out..
Harvey is fully prepared, not only to snipe Renly, but also to win - this year's Oscar for Best Actor, he will never let go easily. This is even considered by Harvey as the next step A key turning point in the Weinstein Films' development plans over the next five years！
Until the screening of "Breaking Drummer", everything developed according to Harvey's plan and everything was under control. Although Warner Bros. is pushing "Interstellar", as a commercial film, this work has overall competitiveness Still slightly inferior, Harvey was still able to control the situation. Then, variables appeared..
Of course, Harvey had to admit that he had no intention of looking down on Renly, and he also knew that the appearance of "Explosive Drummer" would definitely change the pattern of the awards season; but the actual situation still made it difficult for Harvey to control his emotions.——
Renly didn't even expend any effort. No publicity or public relations were launched for the time being. It was just the unveiling of the first round of screenings. He was already easily leading the battle for the Best Actor, easily surpassing "The Imitation Game" and "The Imitation Game". The theory of everything" and "Yves Saint Laurent" three biographical films have become the owner with the highest voice in the fight for the best actor so far..
Even if you are mentally prepared, you will still be upset: According to common sense, biographical movies are the highlight of the awards season. This is why Harvey puts all his energy into biographical movies. He is already familiar with them. ; But now Renly easily takes the lead with a... "College Band" movie？
What the hell is this?？
This simply made Harvey furious! Apparently, the "Hall Effect" has become a superstition that Hollywood can't ignore. Harvey just wants to roll his eyes..
However, Harvey is no longer a rookie. Mood swings are one thing, crisis management is another. How could Harvey, who has experienced many battles, panic over such a trivial matter?？
