751 Feet do not touch the ground
Missing the Golden Globe Awards is a last resort; for the filming of "Edge of Tomorrow" and for the subsequent series of schedules. However, this is not good news for the audience of the Golden Globe Awards Ceremony..
After the nomination list came out, everyone, including reporters and industry insiders, was looking forward to Renly and Ryan Gosling's "twin stars shining". These two topical figures would have nowhere to focus. Now, without Lanly, After the ceremony, Ryan was compared to top stars such as Brad Pitt and George Clooney. The thickness and popularity of the entire topic seemed to lack some chemistry, which is really disappointing..
“What about the Grammys? Are you planning to attend? "When the Golden Globe Awards were mentioned, Andy also brought up this matter. This is also one of the top priorities of this trip to London. "Before I left, the Grammys sent out an official invitation. They couldn't find you. music agent, so I spent a lot of effort and finally passed it to me through Eleven Studio..”
For singers who don’t have an agent, the record company is the person in charge of their work..
“Do the Grammys and Berlin overlap? "Renly did not answer directly, but asked another question..
The Berlin Film Festival, as the most artistic and political film event among the three major European film festivals, has seen a sharp decline in attention in recent years. The reasons are complicated. First of all, the film festival refuses to compromise with the market and Hollywood. It lacks stars and lacks attention; secondly, the film festival adheres to the political nature and artistic purpose, and the works selected for exhibition are becoming more and more unpopular, and the high-cold route is really not close to the people; thirdly, the schedule is awkward, February is the coldest time in Germany, and the audience is enthusiastic about going out Greatly reduced, and at the same time, the Hollywood awards season is in its sprint, and most media reporters have stayed on the mainland of North America..
There is another factor that is not the main reason, that is, the Berlin Film Festival collides with the Grammy every year. Although one is a film event and the other is a music party, there is no direct intersection between the two. It is undeniable that entertainment reporters may still make slight deviations in their choices..
At this year's Berlin Film Festival, "Transcendence" directed by Tony Kaye was successfully shortlisted for competition. Renly will appear on the stage of the three major international film festivals for the first time, accepting the attention and judgment from the world..
However, the film festival’s promotional schedule is quite special..
For a simple example, assuming that "Transcendence" premieres at the Berlin Film Festival on February 5th, Renly's promotional schedule will start on the 4th and continue on the 6th, and up to the 7th, which is almost four days before and after, including Press conference before the premiere, red carpet on the day of the premiere, and interviews and promotions after the premiere.
After all activities are over, the crew members will leave Berlin. As for the closing ceremony and awards ceremony? The film festival's award selections are all discussed and selected by the jury. Before the closing ceremony, they will have a retreat meeting, which can take as short as a few hours or as long as a whole day. After the jury has discussed a context and direction, it will notify Organizing Committee staff, who then call back potential award winners through the Organizing Committee.
This is the case in Berlin, Cannes, and Venice. On the day of the closing ceremony or the day before, reporters will wait at the airport to see which actors or directors who have left have been summoned back. Then, they are likely to be the award winners. Of course, There is also a small chance that they will attend as award guests or red carpet stars to confuse the public, but this chance is very small..
Therefore, even if the Berlin Film Festival and the Grammys overlap, whether you can attend the specific event still depends on the film's release date, the reputation trend after the premiere, and the possibility of winning the award ceremony. There may be variables in this. There are many factors.
“What if they overlap? The person who asked the question was not Andy, but Nathan. His eyes widened and he said in disbelief, "Renly, that's Grammy!" The highest palace of music, everyone is eager to attend the Grammys！”
As Nathan said, unlike the flourishing of movies, in the field of music, the Grammy's powerful influence in the global field is unique, far ahead of a series of award ceremonies in the UK, Japan and Europe. For any singer To be able to showcase myself on the Grammy stage is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity..
Renly laughed dumbly, "I am an actor, not a singer. If there is a time conflict, of course I will choose Berlin. Isn't there no suspense?" There is no need to hesitate and consider, the choice has already been determined, "But if time If appropriate, as you said, it was the Grammys, the most special music event. I am almost certain that if it were not this year, I would never have the chance to appear on that stage in the future. So, I'd love to go visit it, it should be fun.”
Just like the Emmy Awards two years ago, I received nominations, but more importantly, I participated in a carnival as a bystander. It was a very special experience..
“Fortunately, this is not a worry this year. The Grammy has postponed the event, and this year it will be officially held on February 19th." Andy took over the topic, "In the past few consecutive award ceremonies, the Grammy ratings The rate has been declining, and the momentum is definitely unstoppable. They are also racking their brains this year. I am not sure of the specific reason, but the official announcement of the date of the awards ceremony, Sunday, the 19th, is one week later than in previous years..”
Roy suddenly added, "The Brit Awards have also postponed their award ceremony and decided to hold it on the 12th. In order to avoid the Berlin Film Festival. Then the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards and the Boston Film Critics Association Awards were also held on the 12th. Held on Saturday and Sunday.”
It seems that this is a chain effect, just like a domino. Even the Grammys have to make more trade-offs. For all award ceremonies, how to attract more viewers and retain them in the Internet era More focus, this is always a topic.
Renly raised his eyebrows, "Oh? Who is participating in Berlin this year? The Brit Awards are actually worried that European entertainment reporters will shift their focus?" This is not a miracle, but it is not a common thing. In Europe, the three major film festivals Its influence is unmatched by other award ceremonies, not even the British Academy Awards..
“I know that." Andy came to London specially this time, and the Berlin Film Festival was one of the core reasons. "First, this year Berlin will award the Lifetime Achievement Award to Meryl Streep; second, Berlin will officially The Crystal Bear Award department has been established, corresponding to the Teddy Bear Award, to specifically reward youth and children's films; thirdly, this year's jury chairman is Mike Lee.”
Mike Leigh is a British director who has focused on photographing the daily lives of ordinary people for decades. He is one of the most important contemporary British directors, and his influence in the British film circle is second to none. In his directorial career, he has gained many awards. The Palme d'Or in Cannes has also won the Golden Lion in Venice, and is just one Berlin Golden Bear away from the Grand Slam. Now he has become the chairman of the jury of the Berlin Film Festival. It can also be seen from the side that Berlin attaches great importance to and affirms Mike..
Renly slightly lowered his chin. It can be predicted that Berlin will be quite lively this year..
After the digression, Andy returned to the original topic again, "This year's Berlin Film Festival will be held from February 1st to 11th. Before the Grammys, you have a full week of rest and adjustment time. You You can enjoy a short vacation. So, are you sure you want to attend the Grammys?？”
“why not? "Renly shrugged and agreed simply..
“So are you going to perform on stage? Andy asked again, such a common question, but Nathan, Roy and Renly all looked at him. Andy thought about it seriously and found that there was nothing wrong with this question. "What?" Renly has received six nominations above the Grammys, on par with Adele and Bruno. Isn’t it a matter of course that the Grammys invite him to perform on stage?？”
Nathan and Roy showed expressions of sudden realization, and then Andy also reacted: It's not just Renly, in fact, they are all the same deep down, "Renly is an actor, not a singer." Attending the Grammys was more like a spectator. They never thought that Renly would stand on the Grammy stage and perform..
Thinking of this, Andy became more interested and raised his eyebrows at Renly, "If you perform on stage, then I think this year's Grammy is worth watching..”
After reacting, Andy immediately understood. When communicating with Eleven Studio, Grammy repeatedly emphasized that they hoped Renly could perform on stage, even if it was just to perform two songs. Such a gesture did not show the arrogance of Grammy at all. Instead of being cold and cold, it seems warm and friendly - you know, the Grammy stage is not just for any singer to stand on..
Renly paused for a moment, then laughed dumbly, "Do I have time to rehearse now?" He asked back, and Andy couldn't help but choked..
The Grammy stage is world-class, and that night was broadcast live around the world. This also means that before officially taking the stage, every singer who performs on the stage must rehearse and rehearse. Even the top performers must rehearse and rehearse. For big names, backup singers can be used in the first two or three rehearsals to adjust performance lighting, stage design and other details, but after all, the subsequent rehearsals still have to be performed in person and practiced..
Not to mention going to Los Angeles to complete the rehearsal in person, Renly didn't even have much time to rehearse and perform privately in London - the filming of "Edge of Tomorrow", the promotion of the Berlin Film Festival, and Andy's next work that needs to be discussed Arrangement... Awards season is always the busiest season of the year for actors, but Renly's busyness is not for the academy's public relations, but for real work, and he is really busy without even touching the ground..
Now it seems that skipping the Golden Globes was the wisest choice; Andy even began to consider whether he should also persuade Renly to skip the Grammys.？
“how? If I refuse to perform, will the Grammys refuse to allow me to attend? "Renly said jokingly, and Andy immediately laughed..
