Gavin Hunter decides to write a feature on Renly, but Us Weekly editor-in-chief is skeptical：
It is really difficult to find a way out of countless articles; what's more, "Us Weekly" is not a professional film magazine in the first place, it is just an entertainment magazine, and its professionalism cannot compete with the "Hollywood Reporter" and authoritativeness Can't compete with "The New York Times", can't compete with "Vanity Fair" in terms of popularity... Do they have to use rumors and scandals to decide the winner?？
However, the editor still gave this topic to Gavin - after all, Gavin is indeed doing well now.
Faced with such a problem, Gavin raised a question to himself, which is the core content of this topic: How did Renly, who was constantly controversial and full of contradictions, reach such a height in just a few years? More importantly, how did Renly, who always received negative news, win the favor of countless people, including himself?？
Although negative news, negative news, and tidbits are everywhere, from the Internet to the industry, the resistance against Renly has never calmed down, let alone disappeared; but one miracle after another has proved Renly with iron-clad facts. The power of Don Quixote is a potential that cannot be ignored on a global scale..
Including Gavin himself, he must admit that Renly's charisma has made him miss him. He will still miss those days when he was on the front line and in close contact with Renly. All the memory fragments are so vivid, and those fragments are hidden in the office. People can't help but miss every corner of life - sometimes, he can't tell whether he misses the life of running around chasing news or the days of close confrontation with Renly.……
So, why?？
Gavin settled his thoughts, returned to the identity of a participant from a bystander, and looked for answers to the questions from a subjective perspective. His writings focused on Don Quixote, using this group of loyal and lovely fans as his The starting point is to tell the story of Renly in their eyes, trying to capture the "Master Renly" outside the camera.”.
Has no one paid attention to this angle before? Is this the first time such a perspective has ever been seen? Has no one ever written on such a subject?？
Obviously not！
Over the years, countless articles have been written about Renly, and countless reports have been written about Renly's relationship with Don Quixote - in the words of the magazine's editor-in-chief: "Fancy compliments have reached a dead end, trying to come up with them out of thin air." A brand new topic that no one has touched, I guess we still have to rely on the paparazzi.” So, what is the special feature of Gavin’s topic?？
There are articles about Don Quixote; there are articles about Renly's charm; there are articles about Renly in Don Quixote's eyes, or Don Quixote in Renly's eyes; but, with Don Quixote, When a reporter writes about Renly as Don Quixote, there is no such thing. To be more precise, when a reporter writes about Renly as Don Quixote, there is no such thing..
Because reporters must remain objective, at least relatively objective, they are destined not to bring in their own personal emotions to complete press releases; therefore, when writing about related topics, even as a Don Quixote, the reporter’s status is the first priority. One, Don Quixote is the second.
Now, Gavin has slightly changed his position. Don Quixote is the first and the reporter is the second. He truly presents the image of Renly from Don Quixote's perspective - the only difference is that, Those Don Quixotes are not journalists, so professionalism and objectivity are naturally different..
So, is this perspective biased? Let’s not talk about not being objective or neutral enough. Is it possible that it will become a fanatical pursuit from a fan’s perspective? Is it possible to become a fan’s mindless boast? Is it possible to lose the essence of news and become an outright praise article?？
This is precisely the genius of Gavin: he doesn't.
Perhaps in Don Quixote's eyes, Renly is an omnipotent superhero, or even a towering giant hundreds of feet tall, or a warlock with magic. Many behaviors in the fan filter have been beautified, and the content is natural It begins to distort; however, in Gavin's eyes, Renly is Renly, and the exaggerated parts of those fan filters have been restored, and more of a real Renly is presented - still maintaining the reality that belongs to the reporter..
This reality makes this topic unique.
It must be admitted that in recent years, he has been working on special reports and one-on-one interviews, which has given Gavin a different perspective. His writing is very sharp and extremely delicate, and he presents his own views down-to-earth, amidst the lavish praise. In the sound, it can be called a clear stream.
Gaiwen described in detail his own personal experiences, the personal experiences of his colleagues, and the experiences recorded in images and words over the years. From those seemingly subjective but actually objective perspectives, he told those stories and slowly revealed the blueprint. The hidden face of etiquette away from the public eye——
The "stay away from the public eye" mentioned here does not mean living alone and living alone, but stripping away the entertainment-to-death interpretation of the media, contacting the glamor under the light, and simply looking from the ordinary perspective of the general public to find a trivial but real image. On the other hand, the ordinary person before becoming an actor fills in the most mysterious and appropriate last piece of the puzzle for the image of "Renly Hall", the Hollywood superstar..
Renly who works as a volunteer at Mount Sinai Hospital, Renly who works as a waiter in the Pioneer Village, Renly who holds a "one-person concert" for Heather, Renly who mobilizes the "Ice Bucket Challenge" on social networks, Renly who chooses to avoid movie fans because he resists them, Renly who scolds movie fans at the door of Lincoln Center, Renly who shows a different temperament in the "Hypegate", Renly who is passionate about film festivals and indulges in communication with movie fans, visits injured people at midnight Renly who is a movie fan, Renly who silently contributes to charity outside the lights, Renly who is kind and friendly when they meet unexpectedly...and of course Renly who expresses himself through live broadcasts at Sundance, and many more.……
Renly written by Gavin is definitely not perfect, and can even be said to be incomplete. He will be angry, he will be painful, he will be sad, he will be afraid, and he will also escape and fear. Renly is hidden under the perfect appearance of a gentleman. Renli has always had pain that he can't get rid of, and the entanglement of joy, anger, sorrow and joy is also lingering; but this kind of Renly is real, and even more sincere. His enthusiasm and concentration, his determination and devotion have never been... Changed, just like Don Quixote.
From Don Quixote to Sisyphus, Renly's self-titles and self-titles can capture the obsession deep in his heart. It can even be said to be a kind of stupid paranoia. The existence of pessimism is looming, and it can be faintly revealed. Let people see the vulnerability of this top star and the reality beyond the halo.
These details, unknown anecdotes and marriages are slowly presented through Gavin's perspective, allowing people to feel the interaction between Renly and Don Quixote, and then tell the truth.：
Don Quixote's trust in Renly, and even his bond, are pure and sincere, even unconditional, but he still maintains a rationality that fanatical fans do not possess..
In the eyes of outsiders, it is actually the fan filter that is talking. It is carried away and blindly enthusiastic, and it is impossible to understand; but everything is traceable. Rome was not built in a day, and similarly, the bond of trust is not a thing either. Two things can be accomplished. This is a process - a process that others cannot experience and therefore cannot understand..
Until now, Gavin has shown the tip of the iceberg through his own experience. Of course, just like there are a thousand Hamlets for a thousand people, each Don Quixote has his own story, but they are all because of the same person. But being together, getting to know each other and supporting each other is the most valuable thing.
At the end of the article, Gavin wrote:：
“When I was thinking about the results of the article, a voice bumped into my mind without warning: 'You know what? I always think that flying a moth into a flame is a very romantic thing. How many people can completely sacrifice themselves for their romantic and stupid goals? 'I think I know the answer.”
From Renly as an actor to Andrew as "Explosive Drummer", and then back to Renly as an ordinary person, Gavin used his pen to present a familiar but unfamiliar Renly, which is neither cliché nor impossible to talk about. Breakthroughs and innovations on the Internet, just intercepted a certain aspect of Renly, and then showed it.
After calming down, I looked back at the story of "The Exploding Drummer" and chewed on Renly's performance and interpretation. It seemed that I had unearthed something new..
When Gavin Hunter finished typing the last line of words, he sat quietly for a long time, then clicked on the "Don Quixote" album, quietly letting the music flow, and all kinds of emotions in his heart The mixed taste, even he couldn't distinguish, it seemed that there was some relief in a corner.
“After "U.S. Weekly" published this special article, it did not explode into the spotlight - after all, this is still far from the fast-paced style popular on the Internet, and more needs to be calmed down and read slowly; as time goes by, Attention gradually increased, and after the Golden Globe Awards and before the Oscar nominations were announced, it won a second attention and spread widely on social networks, triggering countless resonances..
From word-of-mouth to box office, from public relations to momentum, "Breaking Drummer" has shown incredible energy, which allowed Sony Classics to ignore the predicament of inherent shortcomings and strongly promote this work to strive for more possibilities during the awards season - last year's "Drunken Country" "Folk Ballad", after all, still failed to open up more prospects, so can this year's "Exploding Drummer" go further?？
At least from the present point of view, among many competitors, Renly has undoubtedly become the absolute leader in the battle for the Best Actor, leading the reputation of many candidates. The momentum of "second seal" is gradually heating up. It is undoubtedly the biggest highlight of this year’s awards season..
