“‘Cleopatra', definitely 'Cleopatra', I'm 100% sure! I had an exclusive interview with him on Billboard's official website before, and he said that this song is special..”
“No, definitely not! He never promoted the album or gave an interview! 'Beast', it must be 'Beast', this song, he said at the 'One Man Concert' that he couldn't sing it. Later at the Grammy Awards, he used this song as his The acceptance speech is absolutely meaningful.”
“Oh my gosh, you idiots, haven't you ever heard of 'belief'? It should be this one！”
……
Chirping, bustling, noisy, and fierce arguments could be heard endlessly. Before Mark Lacante's footsteps could get closer, he had already caught a few words; when he approached, everyone turned their heads in unison. , Kristen Shuttler was the first to speak up, "Mark, which song do you think is the most special to Renly?"？”
Mark was stunned and couldn't help laughing, "I thought we should discuss movies. You know, I always think that 'Detachment' is Renly's best performance. 'Crazy in Love' is excellent, very outstanding, but 'Detachment' ' Among them, the shock brought by Renly's performance is layered. God, I want to watch this movie again now. I don't know when it will be released..”
The answer was nonsensical, but there was no sense of disobedience at all. Someone next to him couldn't wait to answer and shouted, "'Buried Alive', that is the peak of Renly's performance. It is simply enchanting, so wonderful! On the contrary, I feel 'Crazy in love' general.”
This time, there were even more voices in the discussion, and it was so mixed that it was impossible to hear clearly. Everyone was expressing their own opinions, and even the name "Fast and Furious 5" was mentioned. Come out - you can feel that in just three years, Renly has indeed given many wonderful performances.
At this moment, Mark and his friends are not in Berlin, but in London, at the door of the Almeida Theater.
After the 84th Academy Awards ceremony, Renly disappeared..
In fact, this way of expression is not very accurate, because Renly clearly informed everyone that he returned to the West End of London, began to rehearse a new play, and returned to the theater stage..
However, after that, Renly did disappear from the public eye - drama, this is a corner that no one pays attention to, and its exposure, attention, and topicality have all plummeted, and it is not even as good as an independent film..
After the Oscars ended, the intertwined fates of "The Artist" and "Hugo" became the biggest hot topic of discussion. Despite this, among countless discussion topics, Renly was still the center of attention, having reached the top spot at the age of only twenty-two. Oscar winner, such a feat is absolutely unprecedented and unprecedented..
Even counting supporting actors, reaching the top spot at such an age makes him the second youngest person in film history. Timothy Hutton was only 20 when he won the best supporting actor award for "Ordinary People" in March 1981. At the age of two hundred and twenty-seven days, this was his only Oscar nomination and his only shining moment..
In the entire eighty-fourth Oscar competition, Renly was the first actor to break all the shackles and barriers. With such history, he surpassed Meryl Streep and Christopher Plummer and became the most popular actor of the night. Shining individual statuette winner.
However, amidst such intense attention, Renly chose to retire for the first time - at least in the eyes of the mainstream media, when an actor's career was bright, he chose to return to the theater stage. This was "retirement", and indeed Indeed, it aroused an outcry of consternation..
However, the afterglow of "Hypegate" has not completely dissipated, and the media have naturally not forgotten Renly's principle of always putting performance and artistic pursuits first.

Unfortunately, Renly ultimately rejected the movie version and chose the theatrical version..
“This is undoubtedly a loss for the crew." In an interview, Hugh Jackman further confirmed the news and also expressed regret, "To be honest, I am looking forward to working with Renly. I have watched his Audition video, God, he is such a great actor, he once competed for the role of Jean Valjean, yes, he and I are direct competitors. But, he has earned my admiration and respect. If given the chance, I'm very willing to compete with him.”
Hugh Jackman, who has a background in stage plays, has been immersed in Broadway for many years, and has won Tony Award recognition, has given Renly such high praise, which further confirms the news from Universal Pictures: Renly is indeed far away from the film version. "Les Misérables" is very, very close.
