The Greatest Showman

One Thousand One Hundred and Ninety-Nine

Needless to say, Oscar night is a top-notch feast, even a gilded party. . . &1t;/p>

For the top celebrities, this is a drunken 'fan' under the spotlight and the spotlight; for other classes, it is an important occasion to constantly climb up and become the top of the pyramid. For those who are prepared. As a result, this party has become the focus of countless people. &1t;/p>

That's what Graydon Carter had in mind, and apparently, he succeeded. &1t;/p>

In 2oo1, British writer Toby Young released a memoir-style personal novel, "How to Betray Your Family", which tells about his experience and memories of working in the "Vanity Fair" magazine for five years, in which a lot of writing focuses on the Oscar night. The glitz and luxury are eye-opening. &1t;/p>

In 2oo8, this novel was adapted into a movie of the same name, starring Simon Pegg and Megan Fox. Although the quality of the finished product was not satisfactory, it still became a window, allowing ordinary audiences to glimpse a glimpse of the secrets inside Vanity Fair. A glimpse into the behind-the-scenes life hidden under the lights of Hollywood. &1t;/p>

Although everyone knows that this is bound to be a story of dilution and dilution, it is still exciting. &1t;/p>

Oscar night invitations were never a problem for Renly. At the beginning, after the "Pacific War" was born, maybe the qualification of the invitation letter has yet to be discussed; but then he ushered in the Oscar nomination for "Buried Alive", and logically received an invitation letter. &1t;/p>

But the real problem is that this top-of-the-line party has no appeal and no discussion value for Renly. &1t;/p>

Renly had been used to seeing too many vanity fair parties like this when he was still in London before, and that was Arthur's job and ability; Escaped, dedicated, single-mindedly threw himself into the world of actors, and now, really has no interest in such parties. &1t;/p>

Renly hasn't been to Oscar night for the past two years, and even after his record-setting Oscar win last year, he's still absent, even when he's physically and mentally exhausted. The hustle and bustle of Hollywood. &1t;/p>

For Vanity Fair, this is a real headache. &1t;/p>

It is no exaggeration to say that Oscar night is full of stars and overwhelmed, and it will never be eclipsed by the lack of any actor. In Hollywood, everything is lacking, that is, there is no shortage of stars; but Renly's absence, but It's a huge regret, and that glaring vacancy can be clearly felt by almost everyone. &1t;/p>

Although there were a thousand guests on Oscar night, which made people 'dazzled', even Graydon himself, he may not be able to notice the attendance of every guest. It is very difficult to notice the absence of any actor in the fragrant temples. &1t;/p>

It has nothing to do with the halo, it has nothing to do with the 'tide' of people. &1t;/p>

So why is it bothering Vanity Fair whether or not Renly is present? &1t;/p>

Before answering this question formally, we need to understand the answer to another question, "Renly-Hall", what does the name represent? &1t;/p>

North American box office winner of 500 million, undefeated for five consecutive works, and the youngest winner in film history,

Representatives of the new generation of acting, professional skills have won universal praise... There are countless labels that can be listed in my mind, but Graydon Carter believes that these labels are not important, because there are not many actors who meet the standards in Hollywood, but not many . &1t;/p>

Graydon has only one answer: hereditary nobility. &1t;/p>

Last summer, "Empire" magazine broke the news of Renly's family secret, which caused a tsunami of discussion on the Internet. &1t;/p>

Objectively speaking, ordinary people can't really understand the influence of this secret. After the surprise and consternation, and after the discussion and heated discussion, they gradually calmed down, because the hereditary nobles were too far away for them. Unfamiliar, the most important thing is that they don't feel any specific influence except for a title, and the attention naturally cools down. &1t;/p>

But the residual 'Bo' in Hollywood Vanity Fair is far beyond imagination. &1t;/p>

For this group of people, they have money, status, and power, and the only thing lacking is fame and glory. &1t;/p>

The former can be obtained through philanthropy; the latter can only be achieved through the real royal family, and now the only royal family that has truly inherited the weight of the nobility is the United Kingdom - other countries such as Belgium, Sweden, etc. still retain the royal family, affecting Power and status are completely different. &1t;/p>

In other words, even the top industry leaders such as Steven Spielberg, Harvey Weinstein, and James Cameron, if they want to have this glory, they must also cooperate with the British royal family. Make a good 'hand'. &1t;/p>

For ordinary people, such glory does not have any practical significance; but for Vanity Fair, such glory is a lifelong pursuit. &1t;/p>

Of course, if, like David Lynch and Woody Allen, they are disdainful of these glory, then they can also face such 'temptation'/'confusion' calmly; the problem is that in the entire Vanity Fair , there are very few that can reach such a state. &1t;/p>

This has always been the case, it has not changed, and to be more precise, it is not just the top people in every field such as Hollywood, Wall Street or Silicon Valley, or politics or academia, standing outside the besieged city, looking forward to the besieged city The scene; standing at the top of the pyramid, and began to imagine the world beyond the sky. &1t;/p>

Now, after revealing the secret, a real hereditary aristocrat has appeared in Hollywood, even if it is just a baron, but this is the first time for the entire industry, as if a rare treasure has finally appeared around, and its influence is absolutely is incalculable. &1t;/p>

On the one hand, this is the goal that everyone has dreamed of, and now there are people around him who have really achieved it. In addition to the shock, admiration and longing have begun to rise, and it is natural to look at it with admiration. &1t;/p>

On the other hand, this is also the moment when everyone is closest to the nobles. If - just if, through Renly, you can connect with the British royal family, and even 'friend' more nobles, then is this a dream come true? ? After all, what they dream of is not just an aristocratic title, but to enter the real upper class through this title and complete the transformation. &1t;/p>

Why did Eddie Redmayne, Tom Hiddleston, Benedict Cumberbatch, Edward Norton, Rooney Mara and others not be able to cause a chain effect when they entered Hollywood? &1t;/p>

That's why. They are not aristocrats with a long history of inheritance, they cannot enter the high-end top aristocratic class, they do not have the heritage and depth of historical precipitation and inheritance. Therefore, people treat them the same way as "second generation stars" like Sofia Co'Pola, or the second generation of Wall Street rich. &1t;/p>

Renly Hall, that's really number one. &1t;/p>

To put it a little exaggeratedly, the appearance of Renly can be said to be a noble aristocrat, who really broke the shackles and took the first step in the mortal world. The boundaries between commoners and nobles truly disappeared in the development of social civilization. middle. Of course, Renly is definitely not the first aristocrat to become an actor, but the previous actors have not been able to achieve such achievements, and the attention will naturally be different. &1t;/p>

So why are the Halls so opposed to it? Why did Renly need to come to New York? Why did the Almeida show lead to such a 'wave' and 'tide'? Why is "Empire" magazine so influential? Why is Vanity Fair's answer so interesting? Also, why is Renly's absence so important to Oscar night? Why did Graydon take Renly's presence so seriously? &1t;/p>

All questions, all can find their corresponding answers in the same answer. &1t;/p>

For most people, it is their honor to receive an invitation to Oscar night; but for Renly, it is an honor for Vanity Fair to have him on Oscar night. &1t;/p>

Graydon knows it, and Hollywood knows it. &1t;/p>

In fact, when "Les Miserables" was still on Broadway tour, Graydon personally arrived on Broadway, spent a lot of money to book a box, appeared for a week, and invited a large number of celebrities to come to join, during which time he and Renly Met once, greeted formally, and sent a positive and friendly signal. &1t;/p>

Since taking charge of "Vanity Fair" in 1991, Graydon has never wavered in the position of editor-in-chief. For two decades, he has single-handedly brought the magazine to its peak and become one of the most profitable media in the North American market. After the millennium was hit by the Internet age, they are still the best-selling print magazines, surpassing "Entertainment Weekly" and "US Weekly". &1t;/p>

As an industry leader, Graydon's sense of smell and judgment is absolutely no trivial matter. &1t;/p>

However, during his time on Broadway, Graydon never showed too much positivity and intention, and did not even deliberately emphasize his identity. Roy - Lockley maintained close contact, the opening ceremony of "Gravity", the opening ceremony of "Drunken Country Ballad", etc. Graydon sent congratulations in the name of 'private'. &1t;/p>

In mid-November, when the filming of "Gravity" was in full swing, Graydon first mentioned his Oscar night plans to Andy and asked Renly's intention to attend; At that time, Andy only said, It is still early, and we still need to see the itinerary and direction of the awards season in the future. &1t;/p>

At that time, the momentum of "Tuo" had gradually declined, and no one was optimistic about the Oscar prospects of this work. But Graydon didn't care. After that, he kept communicating with Andy and Roy until the eve of the Golden Globes, when he officially mentioned Oscar night for the second time, and gave an invitation, strongly expressing that , I hope Renly will be there tonight. &1t;/p>

In other words, it took half a year of foreshadowing and deliberation. In order to invite Renly to attend the Oscar night, Graydon definitely took a lot of trouble. &1t;/p>
