2289 boring gamble
Apparently Allison isn't the only one worried about the Weinstein brothers.
Felicity's expression was slightly awkward, and she wasn't quite sure how she should respond. Scenes like this were really not something she was good at..
Fortunately, Renly's timely interruption saved Felicity, who was in dire straits. "I don't want to break my perfect image. Imagine that after the awards ceremony, violence occurred backstage at the Hilton Hotel? My publicist should have a huge headache, So it's better for me not to show up..”
“Ha ha! "Even Max couldn't help but applaud Renly's self-deprecation..
“No, no, no, I would choose Renly." Alan Tudyk found his voice, although he was still coughing, "I mean, I watched that movie and I still have nightmares about it. , that's why I didn't drink coffee just now, to be honest, I'm afraid of Renly.”
collective laughter！
Allen's half-truths and half-false words made it impossible to tell what was going on, but he still continued with a serious face, "I'm serious, please, everyone, Renly's performance cannot be surpassed. Part 1 The one performance that left such a lasting impression on me was Daniel Day-Lewis in There Will Be Blood. You looked into his eyes and you felt scared. The same is true now. I don't think anyone can surpass Renly this year..”
Daniel Day-Lewis? This is not a casual comparison, it can even be called the highest benchmark in the industry. Allen's words caused more waves in the lounge - but I don't know whether he was praising or ridiculing. These words were really ambiguous. /ambiguous.
“Very good, I guess it's time." Renly answered the sentence just right. His calm and confident look seemed to be saying: It's time for his praise to be "upgraded" to the level of Daniel Day-Lewis. Then The black humor was immediately revealed between the lines of the joke..
The delicate atmosphere was immediately broken, and all eyes were focused on Renly again. Laughter burst out, and the lounge was very lively..
“Are you really not worried about completely losing your chance this year because of your absence? "The person who asked the question was Max, which seemed a bit surprising. Everyone looked at him - they originally thought that his mentality was more stable and would not care about these Hollywood awards. He shrugged lightly, "I thought too. I don’t care, but I won the opportunity a few years ago. When I finally missed it, I was still a little depressed deep down. I mean, although the award is full of interference from various factors, it is ultimately recognition from peers and the industry. This is still very rare, isn't it?？”
Everyone showed faint recognition in their eyes.
What Max is talking about is probably "The Hunt" in 2012. This Danish film won him the Best Actor at Cannes. It also became famous during the awards season at the end of the year, winning the most at the European Film Festival, the British Academy of Film and Television Arts Awards and other important places. Nominated for Best Actor, Max's solid and delicate performance received numerous praises, and he was very hopeful to be nominated for an Oscar; but later, due to the lack of public relations power of the Academy, Max regretfully missed the nomination, and the film was successively nominated. Nominated for the Golden Globe and Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.
It is indeed extremely difficult to be nominated for an Oscar based on a performance in a foreign language work.
For Max, this could have been a career turning point - he could gain more exposure, raise his awareness to a higher level, win more acting opportunities, and even choose his own interests in Hollywood. role, but he missed it after all.
Even Renly is no exception. An Emmy Award that year became an important turning point in his entire career that cannot be ignored..
Just like the balance between business and art, when awards take on a commercial color due to the awards season, the relationship between the film industry and awards is no longer pure, and the choice of actors becomes more complicated. Especially actors with weak "commercial attributes" like Max, Mendelsohn and Felicity, how should they deal with their relationship with awards season works?？
This is a brand new topic. Obviously, Renly is now the most authoritative board in the entire industry..
But the problem is that Renly himself can't give the correct formula - or in other words, there is no correct formula in the first place..
Renly could feel the focus on him. The atmosphere in the lounge was becoming serious unknowingly, and things were going off the rails..
Renly did not continue joking, but considered his words, "Of course, recognition from peers is undoubtedly very rare and important. Every artist is eager to find an appreciation who can understand and recognize him. , aren’t we?.”
“But if we neglect ourselves, or even give up on art itself, for those appreciations and recognitions, how can we strive for those understandings? Where should our identity as artists rest? Art and recognition, art first and recognition later, this is my personal opinion.”
Renly would not say that he "forsakes" awards. After all, he cannot be as detached as Woody Allen. He also longs for recognition, but he refuses to give up his pursuit of acting skills for those recognitions. This is also the reason why he has never been interested in college public relations..
“If those associations are willing to award me awards, I will gladly accept them and be grateful; but if I miss it, I will also accept the results with a smile." Renly answered in the simplest yet most calm manner..
The actors in the lounge had different expressions. Obviously, not everyone can agree with Renly's choice: it's like whether humans adapt to the environment, or the environment adapts to humans. Everyone has their own opinions, which in turn affects them. values and worldview, etc..
Renly did not mean to instill his ideas into everyone. After answering Max's confusion sincerely, his tone became relaxed again, "Wait, why did the focus shift to me? I thought , we're in London now, and what happens across the Atlantic shouldn't matter much.”
A light ridicule instantly resolved the overly focused silence in the lounge. Everyone came back to their senses and their expressions became relaxed again..
“Because you were obviously the favorite but you missed the award ceremony." Wen Jiang also complained, "I think you will regret not attending the Golden Globe Awards. I think this year the Foreign Correspondents Association will definitely award the award to you.”
“No, no, no, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association is very, very cunning. They have an unwritten rule that awards will not be awarded to absentees." Allen shook his head repeatedly, and then many people exclaimed, and he nodded again. Confirm, "Yes, yes, you heard it right, it is indeed the case. This matter has also caused countless controversies in Hollywood..”
Does this mean that the Hollywood Foreign Press Association has already finalized the list of winners, but one of the winners is absent, and then they can modify the list and award the award to another guest present?？
This is the power of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. They still hope that all nominees can attend. Ratings and topic popularity are what the Golden Globes have been pursuing; but this goes against the original intention of the awards ceremony, and it is like using awards to kidnap nominees. Generally, they are required to attend.
This matter is not a secret in the Hollywood industry. The Hollywood Foreign Press Association even issued an official statement expressing a similar meaning, causing an uproar. Although they later withdrew the statement, the trick hidden in it is all too clear. This This is also the reason why the reputation of the Golden Globe Awards in Hollywood has always been full of controversy - of course, Hollywood stars now do not really take the Golden Globe Awards seriously. They treat it completely as Hollywood's annual starry event, just like the Teen Choice Awards. It's just that this is the Adults' Choice Awards.
“So, you're saying that even though they were going to give the award to Renly, they've canceled it now? "Wen Jiang still can't believe this fact..
Allen spreads his hands.
Even Mendelsohn couldn't help but shook his head, "No, no, it can't be like this. Do they know what they are doing? This is not fair to Renly, and it is not fair to the other nominated actors. The award should be awarded to the performance. The best actor, isn't he?？”
This should have been the original intention of the award ceremony; but interpersonal relationships and social interaction have never been that simple, and after the concept of award season was born, interests were involved, and things became more complicated..
Mendelson's words silenced everyone. They couldn't refute, but they couldn't help but refute. So, how should they respond?？
“I think it’s impossible.” Tony said, “Otherwise we’ll make a bet. I think the Golden Globe Awards will make an exception this year and award the award to Renly..”
“What? "This is Renly's voice..
“I agree." Max also expressed his position..
Renly waved his hands in confusion, "Everyone, hey, everyone! Don't be like this, things shouldn't go like this! Please don't gamble, okay? This is illegal..”
Renly didn't expect the development track of things at all. Personally, he didn't like such a bet, and he didn't like being the focus of the bet..
But now things are getting a little out of control. This is about Renly, but it's not just about Renly - it's about the entire awards season, and everyone is involved. No one is left out, even Tony and Wen-Kang, who are preparing to enter Hollywood, are no exception..
“No, I don't think so." Wen Jiang saw it more clearly than anyone else. Because of the environment he was in, he clearly knew the development of things. Although he didn't want to believe that the same thing would happen in Hollywood, he seriously thought about it. If you think about it, behind Hollywood is Wall Street, a Wall Street that puts profits first. So what else is impossible? The two lands on the other side of the Pacific will eventually reach the same destination through different paths..
