2396 Keep a low profile
Another year of Cannes comes to an end, and the much-anticipated Palme d'Or is a shocking upset：
The French film "The Wandering Pandey", which had only a score of 2.5 points in the screening, finally won and ended the 68th Cannes Film Festival as a dark horse. It really broke countless glasses.——
It's not "Son of Saul" or "The Assassin" with its unique image style, nor is it the emotionally moving "My Mother" or "Old Friends", or even the eccentric "The Lobster" or "Sicario", the final award results Indeed, it caused a cry of exclamation both inside and outside Cannes..
Although the jury system of the three major European film festivals often creates surprises and upsets are common, "Wandering Pandy" still broke expectations. Some French media even angrily denounced it as "the worst Palme d'Or in ten years", even if it is a This French work doesn’t give any face at all..
In addition to "Wandering Pandy", "The Lobster" won two trophies: the Jury Prize and the Best Actor. The Best Actor and the Best Actress are both double yolks. These choices have also been questioned, French media Believing that the Coen brothers lacked "decision-making ability", they eventually interpreted the Cannes Film Festival as the Golden Globe Awards.
The Golden Globe Awards on the other side of the Atlantic said: Once again, innocent people were shot.
Controversy is controversy. After every film festival ends - or in other words, after every awards ceremony ends, controversy is inevitable..
This was the case even at the Oscars at the beginning of the year. "Breaking Drummer" beat "Birdman" and "Boyhood" to top the list, and encountered a lot of media doubts..
But the results of the awards cannot be changed. After all, some people are happy and some are worried.：
For "The Lobster", a third place, a Best Actor, and two trophies have far exceeded expectations, even better than Ogles's acclaimed "Dogtooth", which also means With this movie, he achieved great success by challenging English-language films for the first time, and his career as a director finally took off..
The attention focused on Renly also triggered more discussions: compared to the two Oscar gold medals at the beginning of the year, being crowned Emperor at Cannes for the second time at a young age is obviously more crazy and more sensational..
The three major European film festivals have no structure or rules. Winning an award once is extremely difficult. To reach the top twice in just three years is a myth. Countless actors and actresses have starred in works that are not even in the main competition. If you can't get in, how can you talk about competing for the title of best actor?？
This makes people think of Sean Penn in the 1990s - the Best Actor in Berlin in 1996, the Best Actor in Cannes in 1997, and the Best Actor in Venice in 1998. He triple jumped in three years, from the age of thirty-six to thirty-eight, in a short time. In just three years, he has completed the Best Actor Grand Slam at the three major European film festivals..
Objectively speaking, such a miracle is more about luck than strength. In the entire long history of film, only Sean Penn has accomplished it..
Now it's Renly's turn.
Compared with Sean, Renly's "triple jump" is obviously much inferior. He won the Best Actor in Berlin in 2012, the Best Actor in Cannes in 2013, and the second award in Cannes in 2015. So far, Renly still lacks a Venice Best Actor and has not yet been able to complete it. Grand Slam, but reaching the top three times in just four years is crazy enough.
After the Cannes Film Festival came to an end, Renly's outstanding achievements once again triggered countless heated discussions in major media in Europe and North America. The focus was far crazier and more lively than the Oscars.——
Of course, the content of the discussion is no longer the same as the third one. It is not about Renly "whether it is appropriate to win such praise at such a young age", nor about Renly "whether he has the strength to win such praise", but... "What exactly is this?" "What does it mean", "What miracles will Renly continue to create", "What will be Renly's future heights", "How difficult is it to record such a historical record", "Where will Renly's miraculous journey end?", "What's next for Renly?"”.
and so on.
It can be seen from the direction of public opinion that the voices of doubt and criticism have gradually disappeared. People have gradually become accustomed to the fact that "Renly won the award", and at the same time, they have also gradually become accustomed to the brand that "Renly's products are equal to quality assurance" Faith, more just marveling at the incredible performance of Renly——
Even if you are used to the brilliance of constantly creating history, just like Daniel Day-Lewis and Meryl Streep, you still can't help but admire.
“"Only the sky is the limit." This was originally a saying used to describe a promising future and unlimited potential, but now it has become the best sentence to summarize Renly's career. This has also made the general public start to get excited and look forward to it. Watch as Renly continues to create miracles.
Judging from the feedback from the frontline media in Cannes, "Carol", "Son of Saul" and "The Lobster" should hopefully go further in the North American market..
Does this mean...Renly hopes to continue to refresh his own record of consecutive Oscar nominations?？
Apart from Renly, Rooney is undoubtedly the focus of media attention - it must be noted that Natalie Portman and Jennifer Lawrence have not yet been able to win in the three major European film festivals, which also makes her She became the first actress of Generation Y, once again breaking the competition among new generation actors..
Renly and Rooney, two Generation Y actors who have attracted much attention in Europe, are definitely a bright sight among other actors besides them.——
Michael Fassbender landed in Cannes with "Macbeth". It was originally highly anticipated. Many people thought that the actor who entered the public eye with "Shame" had great hope of winning praise again, but the result was It was a big disappointment. From the work to the performance, it failed to stir up waves. The screening score was only 1.8 points; it was quite similar to Matthew McConaughey's situation, which caused a sigh of regret in Cannes..
On the contrary, Emily Blunt, who made a low-key appearance in "Sicario", received unexpected praise, and the supporting actor Benicio Del Toro also won numerous praises, which can be called A group of dark horses, very hopeful to make a difference in the awards season at the end of the year.
No matter what, amid the hustle and bustle, the Cannes Film Festival has officially come to an end, marking the end of another year and the beginning of a new one..
The noisy discussions did not affect Renly. Tahiti was like God's back garden isolated from the world, shutting out all information and news. Not to mention the Cannes Film Festival, even movies and performances were temporarily blocked. Renly put it behind him and relaxed..
Not only did Paul appear in Tahiti, but Ryan Gosling also sneaked over. But Ryan had never surfed before, and this was not his style. As a result, he began to learn surfing from Renly and Paul, and the trouble started. I made a lot of jokes and used my body to create hilarious moments every day..
This should be the first time since his rebirth that Renly has completely cut off all thoughts about acting, completely getting rid of his identity and aura as an actor, and simply enjoying a moment of peace, being excited about a surfing trip, enjoying a glass of whiskey, Happy because of a sunbath.
Life returns to its pure and simple state.
Renly stayed in Tahiti for two full weeks, riding a surfboard through the blue waves. His skin was tanned to a healthy wheat color, and his whole person exuded the breath of sunshine from the inside out. My steps became brisk, and it seemed that the burden on my shoulders had finally been lifted off..
At the end of the vacation, Paul and Ryan both returned to Los Angeles, while Renly returned to New York in a low-key manner..
Although Renly also misses the sunshine and beaches of Los Angeles, he can continue to enjoy his vacation in Malibu - Paul and Ryan can't help but complain that Renly "still lives in New York"; but Renly still can't refuse New York after all. I feel like those cold and damp things have a familiar smell.
The plane landed at JFK International Airport - he did not notify Nathan to come to pick him up, so that Nathan could continue to enjoy his rare vacation. Instead, Matthew Dunlop appeared at the airport. His whereabouts did not attract the attention of any reporters, and everything went smoothly. The airport pick-up was completed despite all obstacles being concealed..
“When are you going to move? "Matthew scanned the refreshed Renly with his peripheral vision, exuding a relaxed atmosphere from the inside out..
Renly pursed his lips, "I don't mind, any time. How about today?？”
Matthew’s head is covered with black lines, but he has long been used to it. “It takes time to pack luggage, so prepare it at least two days in advance so that you won’t be in a hurry..”
“Then the day after tomorrow will be fine." Renly said matter-of-factly, "This time I come back to New York, I haven't been discovered by reporters yet, so I can take advantage of the opportunity to move quickly..”
It's not that there is anything wrong with the current apartment, it's mainly because reporters and paparazzi have figured out the condition of the apartment. If they want, they can even break into Renly's house.——
Because the security settings in the apartment are very ordinary, this is still the apartment rented by Andy when Andy Rogers first signed Renly, so the considerations are not that thorough..
In fact, Andy has been persuading Renly to move over the years because the harassment from the paparazzi is really annoying. When filming "The Boomstick" the year before last, he was even followed by a cast member; but Renly never took it to heart. After all, most of him I'm filming all the time and don't spend much time in the apartment..
When he purchased the Prince's Garden property last year, Renly still had no special ideas and even joked that Andy's worries were unnecessary..
But later, after experiencing what happened to Edith, especially the accident where the paparazzi surrounded Edith, this completely angered Renly, prompting Renly to further protect his private life, and then he decided to buy real estate in New York - going around in circles After buying properties in London and Los Angeles over the years, New York is finally on the agenda.
However, the specific situation is slightly different. The Prince's Garden is the base of the Hall family, and the area and layout require more consideration. New York is still Renly's private residence. Edith, Arthur, or other friends may come over occasionally. I'm here to stay, but after all, it's not the face of the family..
Renly still entrusted Matthew with the related work. The sale was officially settled before the Golden Globe Awards at the beginning of the year, and then Philippe Demba also made a special trip to New York to assist Matthew with some renovation work until early May. All decoration work is completed and you can move in now.
“And you? Have you already moved? Or are you waiting for me to move together? Renly asked with a smile on his face, "Actually, you can help me move directly. There is no need to go through any trouble.".”
Matthew and Andre also bought real estate in New York, just downstairs from Renly. Even Eton was ready to make a move..
