No one can deny that Hugh Jackman and Renly Hall are both popular actors in the industry.

In a sense, Jackman's network is more extensive, his reputation is more outstanding, and his image is better. Few people, most of Renly's friends now are young people, and the circle is really not large.

In terms of popularity, Jackman is bound to have the upper hand. But the truth is that after the London premiere of the "Les Miserables" film version, Renly was almost unanimously given higher praise.

Jackman completed his task properly and performed above the standard; but Renly exceeded his task, made a breakthrough, amazed everyone, and even reinterpreted a different Jean Valjean, different. "Les Miserables".

This is the difference.

At the Oscars ceremony at the beginning of the year, Renly's accidental ascent really caused a storm, and people in the industry have always been criticized. The reason is very simple, Mrs. Renly is young.

Just turned 22 years old, even in the order of the age of Oscar nominations, this is the third youngest number in film history; and Renly went a step further, grabbing the golden man in one go, and powerfully taking Adrie Ann Brody's record for the youngest award has dropped by eight years -

Before that, Renly became the second-youngest best actor in the history of the Berlin Film Festival.

This speed is really too fast, too fierce and too fierce. For the industry's knowledge, especially for the senior people with high morals and respect, for the main members with an average career golden age of thirty-five to forty years old, this is indeed a hard to accept. Whether they are jealous or resentful, they just have a bad temper.

Just look at Adrien Brody. After reaching the Oscar with "The Pianist", he has never been able to win an Oscar nomination - not to mention the Oscar, even the nomination stage of the Golden Globe Award. If you don't go, you will be completely ignored by the academy. This is the price.

Now, Renly is even more "excessive" than Adrian, and the anger and disgust of the academics can be imagined.

If this is the case, either start to challenge commercial films, like Halle Berry, gradually move towards mainstream films, and then gradually move away from the competition for awards season; , in addition to Adrian, Nicole - Kidman as well.

The so-called "Golden Man Charm" is real, especially for Renly.

After the awards ceremony, Renly returned to London's West End, and boldly chose the six-hour version of "Les Miserables." The experimental nature was extremely strong, and it was a new challenge to acting skills. One behavior has been generally recognized by industry insiders:

It is a wise decision for young people to guard against arrogance and impetuousness, return to the stage with a down-to-earth attitude, and slowly polish their acting skills.

However, this is not enough.

If it develops step by step, Renly may have to wait at least until after the age of 30 before people in the industry will re-examine the actor's strength and talent, and reconsider the possibility of awards; before that, not to mention winning, maybe even nominations are extremely difficult.

That year, Marlon Brando was nominated for the Oscar for the first time at the age of 27, and was nominated for four consecutive years before the age of 30. Finally, he successfully won the Oscar at the age of 30 with "The Dock". But now, times have changed a long time ago, Ryan Gosling, Jake Gyllenhaal, Heath Ledger, Leonardo DiCaprio, etc., these actors are the best model.

By the way, Jake Gyllenhaal's first Oscar nomination was for Best Supporting Actor in "Brokeback Mountain" at age twenty-five, but that was his only Oscar nomination until he was thirty-seven. , I wasted twelve years.

If nothing else, Renly will also have to go through such a grinding phase.

Now, the situation has quietly changed.

The movie version and Almeida's version of "Les Miserables" were put together, and after a horizontal comparison, they successfully won praise for Renly. Quietly, Renly's professional strength was once again recognized.

Although there is an element of luck in reaching the Oscar with "Crazy Love"; but Renly's strength is unquestionable, and the young actor has shown a sophistication and maturity that does not match his age, which is admirable Yes, it is even more admirable. People can be jealous, envious or despised, but they cannot ignore it, let alone deny it.

This is unexpected, but it is reasonable.

Standing on the node of "Les Miserables" and looking back at the works of Renly in the past, things gradually became clear. Slowly, slowly, people are getting rid of age prejudice and starting to give Lanly an objective Li's professional talents deserve more recognition.

As people say, the West End and Broadway are gradually declining. Important, even enough to influence many views and opinions in the film circle.

Of course, nominations and awards are still extremely difficult. After all, at the age of 22, he won the Oscar for best actor, do you still want to go to the sky in one step? Just look at Tom Hanks, who completed the feat of winning the Oscar at the age of 39, and the road to nomination after that is extremely difficult. The law of conservation, which exists objectively.

But it is undeniable that the industry's views and opinions on Renly are gradually settling down, which is a windfall.

What's more, if they are hesitant about past works, they can go into the cinema now and enjoy the work that won Renly the best actor at the Berlin Film Festival - "Transcendence", and further observe Renly's strength. and profiling. After all, the heated discussions are just the opinions of others, far more convincing than what you have seen with your own eyes, isn't it?

After the film version of "Les Miserables" premiered in London, Renly, who was not directly related to the film, became the focus of attention. Even in Surrey's photography base, he still couldn't get rid of the focus, which also made people laugh and cry; 's words, the "detachment" that is being shown has gained a lot of unexpected attention, which is also a matter of course.

Before the premiere, Jackman mentioned that Renly had a work being screened in North America at this time, but the news was extremely low-key.

Renly did not return to North America for publicity, the official announcement did not seem to cause any waves, and even Renly's social network accounts were quiet and unbelievably low-key, everything happened in silence, if not for "Les Miserables." ” If so, it is estimated that most people will continue to be kept in the dark.

Such a gesture really makes people laugh and cry.

However, for true veteran movie fans and Don Quixotes, the "detachment" screening has never been a secret.

In fact, as early as November 2, the official screening of "Transcendence" began. At first, it was only screened in two theaters in New York and one in Los Angeles, and there were only three theaters in total. .

There was no publicity, no ceremony, not even an announcement. It just started to show quietly. Tony Kaye didn't put any expectations at all. As the film critics said, this is a work he shot for himself. , didn't look forward to the box office, didn't look forward to the awards season, didn't even look forward to the rental of the videotape --

When he signed with Renly, Tony simply gave up part of the dividends from the video rental. It can be seen that making money and publicity are not his goals. He just wants to complete this artistic creation and leave something in the long history. As for the rest, it will be left to time.

Because really excellent works of art will eventually shine after the polishing of time; moreover, works with such a theme as movies are vigorously promoted, and people will not buy them at all. It is better to let the word of mouth slowly ferment, Between word of mouth, let people take the initiative to understand, take the initiative to think.

In this way, the effect is better.

Of course, you can also save on advertising costs.

As a result, "Transcendence" was screened like this, and it was screened in three art theaters in full accordance with the operation mode of independent art films. The unhurried attitude really makes people laugh and cry - their posters don't even mention that this work won the Best Actor Award at the Berlin Film Festival.

But taking a step back, Renly's face is on the poster. This is the best publicity. Why bother?

What's more, for the real senior professional film fans, they are always concerned about the latest news of the art theater chain; and for the real Don Quixotes, they have been eagerly looking forward to the "detached" movie. show. As long as they have the heart, they will have channels to learn about relevant news, which is enough.

Facts have also proved this.

After the screening began, without any publicity, "Transcendence" achieved a good box office, with a single-house box office as high as 33,000 US dollars, and more than 99,000 US dollars in the first weekend of the screening. Really a surprise.

Objectively speaking, the figure of US$33,000 for a single museum can only be said to be calm, not to mention setting a record. Even compared with Renly's other works, this figure is not comparable. On the record list of film history, even the top 200 cannot be squeezed in. Totally lackluster.

But it is a rare achievement for "detachment", not only because there is no publicity, but also because the work itself has a strong effect of repelling mainstream audiences. Recalling the feedback effect of the two days of ice and fire at the Berlin Film Festival, it can be seen- - That's still a film festival. Now that it's being shown in real life, the situation is naturally more difficult.

Therefore, the "detachment" screening has made a good start.
