436 A good show
Good show, really good show after another.
Originally, people thought that after the voting ended and before the awards ceremony started, the whole of Hollywood would be quiet for a while to recuperate, but they did not expect that this series of good shows would come one after another, and they simply could not stop..
Questions about Renly's net worth and background spread like wildfire on the Internet. The Yahoo community had discussed this issue many times before, and the simmering fire of gossip began to burn brightly again..
Especially Renly has just received an Oscar nomination for his debut film, and now the crew of "Fighting Cancer" has revealed Renly's character problems. So, why? Why was Renly able to ride the wind and rise to power?？
Within just a few hours, the Yahoo community became lively again. The discussion thread accumulated more than 30,000 comments in an instant, and it continued to grow rapidly. Everyone was speculating. Considering Renly's family background, some people even boldly suggested that Renly is the second Edward Norton of Hollywood..
Edward Norton is a well-known third-generation rich man in Hollywood, with a truly deep family background.
His grandfather is the owner of a listed company and has participated in municipal/government/government cooperative construction projects in cities such as Baltimore, Norfolk, and Boston. His grandfather and grandmother are the owners of another multinational company, with businesses all over the world. ; His father is a lawyer and former federal prosecutor, and his mother is a literature teacher.
The Norton family is a family with a long history. The eldest son of each generation of their family is called Edward. In other words, he and his father are actually called "Edward Norton". This tradition is passed down from the European aristocracy.——
In aristocratic families, it is not uncommon for people with the same name and surname to have the same name. The first name is inherited from the family tradition, and the middle name is the name with personal characteristics, especially for the eldest son. Usually at home, the middle name is used the most..
But some people don’t like to use their middle name, because the middle name is likely to be a given name given by a religion, so what should we do? Give a second middle name, or even a third. Edward's middle name is Harrison）.
Edward graduated from Yale University and had no traditional drama training at all. After graduation, he went to Japan and worked for his grandfather's company for two years. After that, he decided to become an actor. Then he returned to New York and starred in his debut film "First Class Fear" ”, and received an Oscar nomination for his wonderful performance in this work.
Does the story sound familiar? The same is true for Renly - he starred in "The Pacific" without being famous and won an Emmy Award in one fell swoop..
Edward's era was not yet the Internet era, but he still suffered a lot of pressure and criticism. Two years after performing "First Degree of Fear", he began to perform Off-Broadway, carefully polishing his acting skills, and gradually using Only after he proved his strength did he gain a firm foothold in Hollywood..
Now, Renly seems to be following Edward's trajectory, experiencing all the situations he had before. However, under the fermentation and catalysis of the Internet age, the situation Renly faces is ten times or a hundred times more severe than that of Edward..
The entire Yahoo community is in a rage, and the discussion continues to get louder, with no signs of calming down..
“The rich second generation is the rich second generation. A little bit of ability will be praised to the heavens. Don't make Oscar selections. Just award the statuette to him..”
“You have such a bad character, but you still get new roles all the time. What the hell is this? Why do those film critics keep pursuing him? Is there some secret deal?？”
“I didn't see much of his strength. The director was clearly responsible for "Burying Alive", and he arrogantly said that it was all his fault. This is shameless. I have never seen anyone so shameless..”
“We'd better stop talking nonsense. Look, even Sundance gave him an award, which shows how tough his background is. It's an independent film festival. Maybe one day we will be collectively shut up? I don’t know, what to expect from a chick romance movie? At the beginning, I didn't see any clues about "500 Days with Summer"..”
“This would have been absolutely impossible without the backstage. To perform so well in three consecutive works? Yep, maybe Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg helped him select these works, and then personally paved the way for him..”
“How awesome is this guy behind the scenes? I had never heard of it half a year ago, but now it has suddenly become popular. Is it a relative of the Queen of England or something? And he’s the 147th heir to the throne or something.？”
“Look at those people, every one of them is a young master. Maybe this guy’s backstage is more powerful than Edward Norton. All of this was paid for with money. You see, before long, our discussions will disappear. Because we are all bribed by money, haha.”
“Have any of you seen 'Crazy'? I thought Sundance was crazy, it was eye-opening that a chick flick got so much praise. I originally thought 'Buried Alive' was pretty good, better than James Franco, but now I just... I feel that things are not simple. Unexpected, unexpected.”
“Disgusting! Become a bitch and still build an archway！”
……
The discussion grew and grew, initially focused on the recent "Crazy Love" and the Oscar nominations, but soon began to escalate.
What is even more ridiculous is that thanks to Google searches, the keyword search popularity of "Renly Hall" has skyrocketed, and the two singles "Cleopatra" and "Ophelia" appear frequently In the public eye, then, iTunes downloads and Spotify listening volume, riding on the little rocket, rushed upwards..
and then……
“"Cleopatra" breaks into Billboard's top 10.
Yes, it's weird, it's incredible, it's outrageous, but it's true. Thirty-eight weeks after "Cleopatra" hit the Billboard chart, the ballad single surges into the top 10 , and ranked sixth, tying Jason Majez's famous single "I'm Yours" for the highest record, becoming the most outstanding ballad on the Billboard charts since the millennium..
It was released forty-six weeks and stayed on the charts for thirty-eight weeks, making it into the top ten for the first time. How incredible is this?？
From a simple example, we can see that with the Internet era and the widespread popularity of smartphones, music sales have gradually begun to tilt towards singles. Compared with albums, people are more willing to buy their favorite singles at a lower cost. And the intention is more obvious. This has also made the competition on the Billboard singles chart more and more fierce, leading to an increasingly strong demand for single updates..
“"I'm Yours" stayed on the chart for a full 76 weeks. Later in 2014, "Sail" stayed on the chart for 79 weeks, and then "Radioactive" Radioactive)" has set a new record, increasing its time on the chart to an astonishing eighty-seven weeks..
The problem is that these singles are not explosive enough. "Voyage" peaked at No. 17, "Radioactive" reached No. 3, and "I'm Yours" reached No. 6 for three weeks. None of the singles have ever won the championship, which is also considered to be jokingly called "a grinding song".”.
Later, in order to adapt to the changes of the times, in 2015, Billboard adjusted the ranking system. If the song has been on the chart for more than 20 weeks and the highest ranking was higher than 50, but the current ranking is lower than 50, it will automatically be removed from the list. If you have been on the list for more than 52 weeks and your highest ranking was higher than 50, and your current ranking is lower than 25, you will automatically be removed from the list..
If it were placed in 2015, "Cleopatra" would have been on the chart for thirty-eight weeks. As long as the ranking is lower than 50, it will automatically be off the chart. For most singles, the time on the chart is not necessarily Being able to persist for such a long time. Of course, it is still 2011, and Billboard has not changed the rules yet, but the shock has not diminished at all. "Cleopatra" not only persisted, but also rushed into the top ten with stunning momentum. name！
Incredible! It's incredible！
Not long ago, after the "Ellen Show" aired, "Cleopatra" entered the Billboard top 20 due to a chain effect. This was incredible and shocked; in just a few weeks Later, "Cleopatra" actually went one step further and entered the top ten, a development trajectory that even the most daring creators would not dare to write..
Sure enough, there is an old saying in China that good fortune and misfortune depend on each other. Who could have expected that this frenzy of questioning would lead to "Cleopatra"? Even the friends in the pioneer village are full of questions and cannot understand the ever-changing changes of this era..
In the Internet age, everything is connected, good and bad, positive and negative..
However, "Cleopatra" has historically entered the top ten, tying the highest ranking record of "I'm Yours", which is not good news for the current situation..
Because, the Yahoo community exploded again.
“Evidence, this is evidence! shameless！”
“How could it be possible if there was no backstage and no one behind to push the flames! This is absolutely impossible！”
“Billboard top ten? You must be kidding me! If this person were an ordinary person, I would take off my head and play it as a football.！”
“Not being an actor is enough, but you actually want to be famous as a singer? How much money did his house spend? One hundred million? Two hundred million? This is really terrible！”
“He's still telling lies with his eyes open! The facts are already before our eyes! What's next? Oscar? Or a Grammy? This is really too obvious. Even if you want to make yourself famous, don’t be so eager. Your appearance is really ugly. Isn’t this obviously trying to put money on your own face? Why should you say that there is no such thing?？”
“king's novelty.”
“I'm even more curious, who is the mastermind behind the scenes with such vast powers that he can actually cover both the fields of music and movies? Master, Master Renly, is he really some kind of prince?？”
……
There was a lot of hustle and bustle, and curses were heard endlessly. However, hidden behind these curses, they forgot that the hands that fueled the flames were themselves; and the hands that opened iTunes and Spotify were also themselves. The ones who achieved the glory and controversy of the Internet era, In fact, they are all the same people, but people often don’t remember it..
Just because I am in this mountain, I don’t know the true face of Mount Lu.
