Are the major interest groups in Hollywood panicking about Renly's sweep? So much so that there are behind-the-scenes masterminds within the industry who are sniping at Renly's rise and strength, or are trying to interfere with Renly's career curve.？
This sounds like a fantasy: among those behemoths with Wall Street capital, which one is not a giant that spans the world, how can it be possible that an independent individual is in chaos? How could one change strategy because of an actor? It is absolutely impossible to happen even in fantasy novels. It is more like a conspiracy theory conceived by a complete layman in his daydreams, and it is a ridiculous kind..
But calm down and think about it carefully: when Steve Jobs conceived the iPhone, no one expected that he would change the development process of the entire world; when Mark Zuckerberg wrote the Facebook program in his dormitory at Harvard University, no one expected that he would change the development process of the entire world. I expected that he could change the structure of life in the Internet age.
History creates heroes, and heroes often develop from "independent individuals".
With Renly alone, he really can't shake the monsters of Wall Street capital, but when Renly owns Sisyphus Films, it's another story..
“The New Yorker's article elaborates on the "panic" coming from Hollywood, starting from the far-reaching influence in three aspects.”：
The first is the interests related to superhero movies. Now DC and Marvel are thinking about whether they should cooperate with Renly, and Disney took the first step and successfully persuaded Renly to join the Star Wars universe. In addition, Renly Li's move to join "Jurassic World" also means that the profit model of commercial movies may change..
Long before Renly, the huge influence of Johnny Depp and Robert Downey Jr. had given people a glimpse of the changes in the movie profit model, which was also the reason for the "fall of stars"; but now, Renly can pry Change the profit model of the entire industry and become "Hollywood's last superstar". Then, when Renly cooperates with comic book movies, the subsequent influence will be far beyond imagination, and all major film companies must face it..
Secondly, there is the production and distribution model of art films, starting from the live broadcast of lectures at the Sundance Film Festival, to the frequent actions of Sisyphus Films in the past few months, to independent films such as the Coen Brothers and Robert Redford. The big names in the field are ready to move, and finally the folk music festival is starting to sprout. All this proves that the emergence of Renly is becoming a variable in the independent art industry, which is also new to Hollywood..
Off topic, from Weinstein Pictures to Summit Entertainment to Lionsgate Pictures, including the previous DreamWorks, although they all started as independent film companies, and then grew into giants step by step, and began to change the rules of the industry, but In the final analysis, their business model has always put profits first - it is in line with the laws of the market, which also means that they have not stepped out of the framework after all..
But now Sisyphus Films has demonstrated a different model, which is somewhat similar to the three major European film festivals. Profit is still the criterion, but art takes up a greater proportion. This may also become a game-changing turning point. A serious challenge to industry rules.
Of course, Sisyphus Films cannot yet be considered "successful". It is still unknown how much shock this challenge will bring..
Finally, there are changes in the business model of Sisyphus Pictures, including Renly's cooperation with the Berlin Film Festival, Venice Film Festival, and Sundance Film Festival, including Sisyphus Pictures' acquisition of Crack, including the two-pronged approach of film and television. , all of this reveals something unusual, and it seems that a storm is brewing.
The author of the article made a point in the summary stage: Although it is still impossible to see the blueprint of Sisyphus Pictures, no one knows what they are planning, it seems that Renly is already at the forefront of the times, and even industry insiders cannot see through it. His actions; but various clues are revealing that a change is coming, coupled with Renly's "invincible halo" so far, this also makes Sisyphus Film's actions more lethal——
Hollywood doesn't worry about a Renly, but they have to worry about a Renly with capital.
If Sisyphus Pictures really rises, the industry structure will be disrupted, just like Steve Jobs' Apple and Mark Zuckerberg's Facebook. They are both unpredictable variables. This is also The fundamental reason why Hollywood has always been "fearful" about Renly is that in the final analysis it is still worried about profits..
This also returns to the starting point of the entire article: Whose cheese did Renly touch? This is why Renly has to face the dilemma of being attacked from both sides in Hollywood..
Last year, the excellence of "Gravity" and "The Balladeer" were considered the best of the decade. Even Matthew McConaughey's excellence was overshadowed by Renly. But Renly was not only not the favorite to win the award, he even won the award. They almost fell behind during the nomination stage, which simply fell through the eyes of all onlookers..
This year, "Interstellar" and "Crackling Drummer" teamed up to create a commercial project and an artistic one. In both works, Renly gave stunning performances, among which "Crackling Drummer"'s performance was even rated as one of the top ten. One of the best stand-in performances of the year, rivaling Daniel Day-Lewis’s insane performance in “There Will Be Blood,” but it’s only just starting to gain momentum, and even before it spreads, negative rumors are emerging..
So whose cheese did Renly touch, so that he had to face embarrassment from all sides?？
This article from "The New Yorker" is very clever and very cunning. It cleverly changes some concepts and shifts some targets to interpret the development trends of Hollywood in recent years from a different angle--of course, it also conceals some key points. information, but the context of the entire article is very clear. It uses Renly as a foothold to examine the changes in the entire industry, and finally returns to Renly to discuss Renly's current situation in Hollywood..
The whole article has clear ideas and sharp writing. It is not only persuasive, but also shocking and impactful. It connects all the focuses and hot spots in recent years, and then puts it in the context of the "Exploding Drummer" viewing craze. There was an uproar on social networks：
You see, Renly's voice has just started to rise after the screening of "Blast Drummer", and then there is a trend-led public opinion in the Hollywood industry and social networks. Isn't this the best ironclad evidence against Renly? Almost every detail echoes the New Yorker article.
No wonder Renly's every appearance is accompanied by negative news, no wonder Renly's every move is put under the microscope, no wonder Renly's life is always surrounded by the spotlight... It seems that all the questions have finally found the answer, so that netizens They have all forgotten that just a few days ago, the second "hype scandal" was about to take place under their own supervision; now netizens are easily blaming all the blame on... Wall Street.
Everybody hates Wall Street, right?？
So, someone really wants to snipe Renly now? Doesn’t Renly deserve a second Oscar? Last year, the double insurances of "Gravity" and "Drunken Folklore" were able to get into trouble. So this year, when "Interstellar" lacks competitiveness, it is very likely that "Explosion Drummer" will be ignored again, isn't it?？
Then, the question arises: if Renly does become a public enemy, is Cracking Drummer worthy of being the key to breaking the situation? To put it in layman’s terms, is “Crackling Drummer” worthy of an Oscar?？
Netizens immediately exploded, and the entire social network began to discuss: Does Renly deserve two Oscars? Especially when "Crazy Love" only reached the top spot three years ago, should Renly, who is only twenty-five years old, beat countless other outstanding actors to win two Oscars?？
There are opponents, supporters, and onlookers, but what is certain is that the conclusion after all the debates remains the same.：
Only by actually watching the movie with your own eyes can you prove it..
After all, without experience, you have no right to speak. Only by enjoying the movie and making your own judgment can you support your opinions with actual evidence. Therefore, all eyes were focused on "Exploding Drummer", and invisibly, The already extremely popular movie viewing crowd has once again climbed to a higher level. "Exploding Drummer" has recreated the sold-out spectacle of last year's "Drunken Country Folk", and even exceeded it..
Even Sony Classics was caught off guard.
Although the entire Hollywood is clearly aware of Renly's strong appeal, every time a movie is released, it will inevitably trigger a topic. As for how much box office the topic can turn into, that is another matter; but the actual situation every time can be unexpected. Anticipate, break people's fixed cognition, and then create miracles again and again.
Not long ago, "Big Hero 6" achieved brilliance at the box office in a single theater, and now, the screening of "Big Bang" has unexpectedly become the focus of the United States in December. This is really incredible - Sony Classics They had no such plan at all. They were planning to show it step by step. The current situation made them look shocked..
“Is there anything else that can stop Renly Hall? "This is probably the most empathetic topic on the entire Internet..
This was undoubtedly a wake-up call for Harvey Weinstein. He finally managed to guide the direction of public opinion in the direction he expected, but as a result, the "New Yorker" article suddenly appeared and cut it off at the right time. His own actions - If Harvey hadn't made sure that his plan had not been exposed in advance, and there were no relevant rumors in the industry, he would almost have thought that the "New Yorker" was deliberately targeting him..
Wait, is Bob Weinstein targeting himself? Brothers are having trouble internally？
