357 suspected genius
The Sundance Film Festival is in full swing, and Hollywood's awards season has entered its sprint. Yesterday it was the Weinstein brothers, today it's Natalie Portman, and tomorrow it's James Franco.……
Private parties are held almost every day, and several news updates can be completed almost every day. Often, before the last piece of news has time to be digested, the next rumor has already triggered another round of gossip. You finish singing, and I will appear..
The closer the voting deadline for Oscar nominations is, the more noisy in Hollywood becomes. At such a critical moment, any piece of heavyweight news may turn the tide and change the situation..
For example, Natalie Portman’s body double controversy.
If the negative news breaks out at this time, Fox Searchlight has no time to deal with public relations, then Natalie's Oscar prospects will be immediately full of variables, and it is not impossible to even be kicked out of the nomination list; however, the news is in two It broke out many months ago, leaving Fox Searchlight enough time to slowly deal with public relations and slowly digest the impact. At this time, it is already unable to change the overall pattern..
Of course, being nominated is one thing, and winning is another. How much impact this incident will have on Natalie’s success in winning the Oscar is still unknown..
It is against this background that the entertainment section of the official website of the New York Times updated a piece of news. To be precise, it was a special report, which easily attracted the attention of the United States..
“Genius in the spotlight, the battle for the leading figure of Generation Y opens a new chapter: Renly Hall shines at Sundance.”
This special report was written by Bradley Adams. This senior entertainment reporter has been paying close attention to Renly since the premiere of "War in the Pacific". After a long period of accumulation, he finally accumulated a lot of experience and wrote this article. This report really thrust Renly into the public eye..
In the report, Bradley introduced the two works "Pacific War" and "Buried Alive" in detail, and also made a first-hand comment on "Crazy Love". He was full of praise for Renly's performance, The three works present three completely different characters. More importantly, Renly's performance methods are also slightly different, allowing people to see his strong plasticity, which is really valuable for an actor..
Bradley thinks Renly is a cross between Laurence-Oliver and Marlon Brando.
“In him, you can see his solid stage drama skills, and his ability to interpret and perform lines is impressive. Every line is permeated with the profound weight of the script. Oliver is undoubtedly the greatest Shakespearean actor in the history of theater. Now, This young actor, who is also from the UK, once again has Olivier's line skills, which makes people imagine what it would be like if Hall performed Shakespeare..”
“In him, you can also see the explosive performance power and the emotional power that bursts out in an instant, displayed through every look, every expression, and every movement. This makes people think of the fledgling Brando. The rough, raw, strong, unreasonable but full of tension performance presented in the movie 'A Streetcar Named Desire'.”
Bradley did not simply comment on the work "Crazy Love", but stood at a concluding level and solemnly introduced this shining new actor to the majority of movie lovers..
Such grand treatment is really rare.
At the end of this feature, Bradley said, "The outstanding performances in three consecutive works fully demonstrated Hall's excellent talent in acting. What is even more commendable is that he is only 21 years old this year, but The sophistication, stability and restraint he showed in his performance broke the shackles of age. Genius, undoubted genius.
Perhaps, we are witnessing the rise of another 'Marlon Brando'. Or, we are becoming witnesses of 'Renly Hall' making history..”
The whole report is eloquent and combines all the information about Renly so far, his experience in London's West End and Broadway, his talent in music, and the reality of repeatedly hitting the wall before the "Pacific War"... It is no exaggeration to say that this is The most comprehensive and in-depth analysis of Renly available today..
Bradley had been brewing for nearly half a year, and finally seized the precise moment at the peak of the awards season, and released the drama he had prepared for a long time in one breath, shocking the entire North American continent..
genius.
This is Bradley's summary of Renly, but it is not just a genius. He also borrowed Lawrence and Malone, two top actors in history, as an analogy, and gave almost all the words of praise to him. to Renly, with a heart-warming respect..
This is really too heavy a weight for a newcomer, even when Jennifer Lawrence came out last year with "Winter's Bone", even when Edward Norton shocked everyone with his debut film "First Degree" When I was a child, I was not able to enjoy such treatment..
But if you think about it carefully, although Renly is just a newcomer, all three of his works within a year are highly recognized works, not to mention "The War in the Pacific" and "Buried Alive". "" is currently being screened at Sundance. "Crazy in love" is no exception.
If you look through the newspapers, you can see all kinds of news about Sundance. "Crazy Love" easily occupies the top headlines, either because of the hard-to-get tickets or the frenzy of media praise. , or the commotion after watching the movie... This work has become the most talked about movie topic in the past 48 hours, even compared to the excitement during the awards season..
Then, it all seems to be logical..
However, this is not just any media. It is not "Vanity Fair" that exclaims "genius is born" every now and then, nor is it "Entertainment Weekly" that uses "genius" as an adjective. This is the "New York Times", unique "The New York Times”！
“"The New York Times", the most authoritative broadsheet in the United States, usually mainly focuses on serious news such as politics, economy, and society. Although in order to keep pace with the times, entertainment news is naturally included, but the overall style of the newspaper is still relatively serious. Neat and tidy, entertainment news such as movies also shows a more professional attitude.
There is no doubt that their influence ranks first in the United States, and even in the world, they are the top among the top. Every piece of news is enough to represent the mainstream opinions of the elite on the east coast of the North American continent, not only in terms of entertainment, but also It is the economic aspect, but it truly has the powerful ability to shake society and change life in all aspects..
Now, in the midst of the hustle and bustle of the awards season, the New York Times has published such a special feature. Although it is not in a physical newspaper, but on the official website, its authority and professionalism are still uncompromised. The reservation gave Renly the name "Genius", and this influence is truly hard to estimate..
From Sundance through the Yahoo community, it was transmitted to traditional authoritative media such as the "New York Times"; then, the powerful influence of the "New York Times" was brewed and fermented by the Yahoo community, triggering a frenzy of discussion on the Internet, and finally Reradiate to Sundance.
With the intense attention, Renly once again stood in the spotlight, and the two works "Buried Alive" and "Crazy Love" also gathered scorching eyes from all over North America..
Who could have imagined such a result?？
One film has an investment of 3 million, and the production team comes from the "remote areas" of Spain. The director and starring actors are unknowns, and the publicity cost is less than 500,000 US dollars. The other film has an investment of 250,000, and the production team is ...The crew is mainly British, "outsiders" who are disliked by Hollywood. The crew members are all fringe people who work in independent films, and the publicity expenses are basically zero..
But these two independent films are connected because of Renly. The excellent reputation of "Buried Alive" made "Crazy Love" famous at Sundance, and the outstanding performance of "Crazy Love" promoted It’s hard to separate the pace of “Buried Alive” during the awards season and tell who helped whom more. However, what is certain is that these two works, which were struggling in the promotion stage, found new ways to help each other..
On Facebook and Instagram, the topic "Renly's Oscar nomination" has become a hot topic. Driven by the incredible appeal of the "New York Times", it has entered the global hot topic trend and triggered heated discussions on the Internet..
But what’s interesting is that “War in the Pacific” has finished playing, and the DVD disc has not yet been released. HBO’s on-demand playback is the only way to watch it; the number of public theaters for “Buried Alive” has not exceeded 1,500 - instead In short, it is a niche among niches, and the current cumulative box office figures also prove this point of view; and "Crazy Love" has just landed at the Sundance Film Festival..
In other words, even if everyone wants to know more about Renly, they can't find an effective way. This feeling is really... frustrating.
Countless netizens began to vent their emotions on the Internet.
“Atrenley-Hall, I want to see your work. Where can I go to see it?？”
“Does anyone know Renly Hall’s Facebook or Twitter? Why can't I find his information?？”
“In a movie theater in New Braunfels, 'Buried Alive' has been offline, and I fainted in the bathroom crying..”
“Oh my god, I'm in Denver, I went to three movie theaters, and I couldn't even buy a ticket for "Buried Alive"! Can anyone tell me how I can watch this movie?？”
“Does anyone know who Renly Hall is? Why is everyone talking about him? I searched and couldn’t find his works..”
“Can anyone lend me a set of 'Pacific War'? I want to see what that guy is good at..”
“Fuck Renly Hall, I can’t see any of his films, it’s just the critics who are enjoying themselves, what the hell?！”
……
There are countless topics about Renly on Twitter and Facebook, and they even resort to swearing, but it doesn't help. If you can't see it, you just can't see it..
Relatively speaking, the audiences in Park City are undoubtedly happy now. Even if it is difficult to get a ticket, at least they can find a movie theater and wait at the door, quietly waiting for the opportunity to watch "Crazy Love".
“Greetings from Park City, got your tickets to 'Crazy Love'! Comparison！”
