783 Charisma
Ned-Mullan pushed open the door of the studio and walked in quickly. The reporters who were traveling with him were packing up their interview tools. The two parties nodded and Ned crossed over to where the camera was. , took the initiative to greet him, and then saw Renly sitting on the high chair..
A blue sweater, a pair of smoky gray suit trousers, and a pair of light brown brogue leather shoes. There is a bit of laziness in the leisurely way. A little tiredness can be caught between the eyebrows, but the smile at the corner of the mouth is still relaxed and free. , the golden brown curly hair hung down casually, exuding a strong gentlemanly atmosphere, but not too high-minded..
Unable to resist, Ned raised the camera in his hand and pressed the shutter according to his professional instinct. The clicking sound attracted Renly's attention, and he raised his head and looked over. Ned then hurriedly stepped forward. , showing an apologetic smile, "Good afternoon, Renly, I am Ned Mullan, a reporter from 'Empire' magazine, one of the official media partners of the Berlin Film Festival. Please forgive me for my rudeness just now..”
Renly chuckled lightly, "The Berlin Film Festival Organizing Committee will talk to you about the issue of image rights." The joke made Ned stunned, and then he couldn't help but smile. Renly's eyebrows furrowed slightly and he thought for a moment. , "You are the reporter after the press conference this morning.？”
After the press conference, he chased the reporter in the corridor and asked for Renly's autograph..
Ned was stunned for a moment, a little surprised, "Do you still remember me?" It was just a one-time encounter..
Renly smiled, "It's rare for a reporter to ask for an actor's autograph. What's more, this happened in the morning, how could I forget it?？”
Ned looked slightly embarrassed, but then returned to normal, "Not for me personally, but for my niece." Ned sat down on the chair opposite Renly, "She is a sophomore this year, and her school is in London, while her first love boyfriend went to Edinburgh. Then, the two went through a very hard year and finally chose to break up. Then, she saw 'Crazy Love' in the cinema’.”
Ned didn't say anything more, just shrugged, showing a look of regret, "I mean, she was like crazy. She watched it over and over again more than twenty times, but she still couldn't help herself. She almost became I killed a useless person." He paused for a moment and exhaled a long breath, "I just thought that maybe, maybe you could bring some comfort..”
Renly suddenly understood and nodded slightly, "Maybe you should tell her that the director of 'Crazy Love' said this. Jacob and Anna can't be together, but it doesn't mean that they no longer love each other..”
Ned was stunned for a moment, chewing the words carefully. He wanted to say something, but couldn't. In the end, he could only nod, "I will tell her.".”
“If you want an autograph, why don't you ask for it during the interview? "Renly asked curiously.
Ned scratched his head, "That's a private matter. This is a public matter. I don't want to get confused." Renly nodded slightly and agreed. Although paparazzi are rampant and pervasive in Britain and the United States, it is undeniable that in these areas, There are still a group of excellent journalists here who adhere to professional ethics and pursue journalism dreams. "I forgot to say, thank you, thank you for your willingness to sign just now, this is very important to me.”
“It's just a piece of cake for me. I'm glad to be able to help." Renly said with a smile and paused, "Perhaps, you can answer a question in return." This was something Ned didn't expect, but he Still nodded and agreed. Renly adjusted his sitting posture, "Why is 'Crazy in Love' so popular in the UK?"？”
Ned's eyes widened, not expecting such a question at all..
Renly continued seriously, "I mean, the response to this movie far exceeded my expectations. Just like when I arrived at the hotel yesterday, I couldn't believe that so many people were cheering for me. "Renly personally likes the work "Crazy Love" very much. When he was in Telluride, he decided to star in it without hesitation; but after all, it is still an independent artistic work, and the results achieved now are indeed Unbelievable.
Ned realized Renly's sincerity and laughed dumbly, "Renly, can I ask a question? Did you watch the movie 'Crazy for Love' seriously? To be more precise, did you watch your own performance seriously? ?" Ned also leaned forward slightly, "This movie is not only about a long-distance relationship, but more about love, about loneliness, about dependence, and about impulse. Everyone can find their own shadow in it: love, When it's hot, it's easy; but what about when the passion begins to cool?？”
Ned then added, "I like this work, not because it resonates with me. I am still a bachelor." This little joke also made Renly laugh, "I like it, because it resonates with me. I am still a bachelor." Because you gave this work a special texture. I loved seeing the moment when Jacob fell in love, and I was moved by the lonely and overwhelmed eyes of Jacob. Do you know that this is the essence of the movie? Power is also the power of performance.”
Renly pursed his lips slightly, feeling slightly touched in his heart. To be honest, what Ned said was indeed his perception during the performance; but Ned's words were also correct. He had watched "Crazy Love" ", but never really re-examined his performance. Perhaps this is another way to hone his acting skills..
But on the surface, Renly showed a smile, hiding his inner thoughts, "Thank you for the compliment." It was as if the purpose of the question just now was to hear these compliments..
Ned opened his mouth, not knowing how to respond at all. He faintly caught a hint of lightness between Renly's eyebrows, and the smile at the corner of his mouth couldn't help but rise, "It's my pleasure." Because what he said was all the truth. , there was no need to deny it, and asked the question, "Renly, why did you become an actor? I mean, what was the reason why you fell in love with movies in the first place?？”
This is an unprecedented first time. Since the "Pacific War", the first time someone has raised such a question. Sure enough, it is the Berlin Film Festival. The differences between Europe and the United States are once again reflected. Renly's memories can't help but go back to the last time. In the first life, when he was Chu Jiashu, when he was still trapped in the hospital bed, "Have you watched 'The Truman Show'? Have you ever thought that there may be other people controlling our lives, so-called God is actually a group of ordinary people living in higher civilizations and farther away from alien planets？”
Ned looked at Renly in front of him with great interest. His eyes revealed a different kind of brilliance, as if... like a five-year-old child, who did not and could not hide his love for movies and the desire to pursue his dreams. The heart of an innocent child has never cooled down, nor dimmed. It is pure and sincere, making people a little envious and a little longing for..
The thirty-minute interview ended quickly.
“"Empire" magazine is one of the most authoritative and professional film journals in the UK. Ned has been working for this magazine for nearly six years. From graduating from college to nearly 30 years old, he has met all kinds of actors, directors and other artists. Each interview has different results and different moods, but it is rare for the passage of time to become so insignificant - especially after just experiencing a press conference in the morning, and then Renly accepted multiple interviews. After the media interview, the rhythm and fun of the conversation have not disappeared. It is really rare..
Thinking back on what he gained from today's press conference, Ned began to vaguely look forward to the work "Transcendence", not only looking forward to the work itself, but also looking forward to Renly's performance, and even more looking forward to Renly's next work. .The charm of an actor is probably just like this.
“Last question, two weeks ago, the Oscars announced the nomination list. With your outstanding performance in "Crazy Love", you received a nomination for the second consecutive year. If, I mean, if, you succeed in winning, what will happen? How about it? "Ned asked curiously. To be honest, Renly's voice is even higher than that of Gary in Britain.——
Gary Oldman is a well-respected veteran British actor. The work "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy" is the most powerful contender for the British Academy Film and Television Award for Best Actor..
“Haha." Renly laughed happily, "Let me dream for a little while." After saying that, Renly thought seriously in his mind for a while, and Ned couldn't help but smile at his straightforward actions, and then Renly nodded and said with a smile on his face, "I'm sure that will be an extremely exciting thing. However, life must go on, and performances must also go on. An Oscar statuette is an important affirmation, but It cannot prove that I am an outstanding actor. It can only prove that in this one work and in this year, I won the hearts of the Academy judges..”
Confident and proud, firm and calm, but not losing himself. This is too rare for a 22-year-old young actor.
“Wait, is this expression official enough? Is it enough routine? This should be the standard answer, right? "The joking tone not only showed his good mood, but also glimpsed the wantonness of youth and frivolity. Especially when paired with that serious expression, the contrast effect was even better..
To be honest, Ned almost became a fan of Renly. "Empire" magazine has made many reports on Renly's works in the past two years, but like most European reporters, he said, "Renly - "Hall" is just a symbol without much practical meaning, and the impression conveyed by the American media is also very flat. But today, at the Berlin Film Festival, the image represented by that name is becoming more vivid..
In just a dazed moment, Ned discovered that the reporter for the next round of interviews was already standing next to the camera - the camera was officially set by the film festival. They needed to edit the highlights and record the precious moments of the film festival..
Ned quickly stood up and nodded to his colleagues to express his apology; then he looked at Renly, only to find that Renly had already stood up and stretched out his right hand, "Today's interview was very pleasant. Finally, I hope you My niece can once again discover the warmth and happiness around her.”
Ned was stunned for a moment, his smile widened, and he held Renly's right hand, "Thank you.！”
