"Maybe one day in the future, I can be Henry-Fonda. That's a wish."

"Henry Fonda? Are you sure? I think Marlon Brando or Daniel Day-Lewis is a better choice."

Facing Bradley's ridicule, Renly raised his eyebrows slightly, and a smile appeared in his eyes, "I will choose a positive angle to interpret it."

Bradley couldn't help laughing and responded meaningfully, "From my point of view, it's positive from any angle. I'm always on your side, please believe me."

This is a little joke, a real-life allusion from Hollywood.

Henry Fonda, a legend, has been on Broadway and Hollywood for more than 50 years, dedicated to "Wild Duel", "War and Peace", "Once Upon a Time in the West", "Twelve Angry Men", "Golden Pond", "Rage" A series of classic masterpieces such as "The Grapes" and "Tears in Red Shirt"; even because of his five marriages, a family of performers was born in Hollywood, and the surname "Fonda" has a strong and far-reaching appeal.

Henry Fonda, however, has a not-so-pleasant record: He holds the record for the longest distance between his first nomination and his final award in Oscar history.

He was first nominated for "The Grapes of Wrath" in 1940, when he was thirty-five years old; in 1981, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences awarded Henry the Best Honor Award, and the following year, "Golden Pond" was nominated again After that, I finally won the award, after a gap of forty-two years.

When Renly mentioned Henry Fonda, he was actually ranting about himself.

After egot, the whole of Hollywood is bound to be full of caution and rejection of Renly. Not to mention winning the award again in a short period of time, even the nomination may become extremely difficult, because Renly has reached the peak at a young age. After challenging the limits of the entire industry, it is impossible to continue uphill, only to start downhill.

According to past historical records, such as Tom Hanks, in the next few years, the name "Renly Hall" may only be a theoretical hot topic during the awards season, and the discussion is rolling in. , but only blossomed without fruit, and completely missed most of the nominations - they need to make Renly "calm down".

So Renly brought up Henry—forty-two years before he could win again. For Renly himself, he also expressed an open-minded and calm attitude. After all, he has already won the award once, and he has just completed the egot, so he really does not have much urgent desire/desire for the award. Just focus on participating.

But Bradley brought up Marlon Brando and Daniel Day-Lewis.

The reason is very simple, Henry was nominated for the first time for the first time, after forty-two years; and Renly is now a golden statue in his hand, so the analogy is naturally inapplicable, and Malone and Daniel are more. An apt metaphor.

In the long history, only nine male actors have successfully won two Oscars for Best Actor. Malone and Daniel are among them. At the beginning of this year, Daniel became the only actor who has won the Best Actor Award three times, especially The point is that these two actors are tied for the longest gap between their first and second awards.

Marlon Brando, first for "The Dock" in 1954, second for "The Godfather" in 1972; Daniel Day-Lewis, first for "Mine" in 1989 Left Foot", won for the second time in 2007 for "There Will Be Blood". There was a gap of 18 years between the two awards.

Undoubtedly, Bradley's analogy is more appropriate, but it contains two meanings. One is to ridicule Renly for having to wait 18 years for his second golden statuette; the other is to praise Renly. Will reach the heights of Malone or Daniel and truly become a top actor in history.

So Renly made such an answer.

In the midst of laughter, Renly and Bradley left the bustling location of Times Square and walked down the street, all the way down/downtown, not sitting down, but walking around the city like friends.

"It's like 'Manhattan,'" Bradley joked half-jokingly.

This is Woody Allen's classic love movie, walking through Manhattan, but in the ramble, outlines the living conditions of the middle class and the concept of love.

Renly chuckled, "You should use this line in dating situations."

"Ha, none of my dates understand Woody Allen." Bradley shrugged regretfully.

Renly did not refute, "Not many people know Woody Allen. By the way, I met Ronan Farrow not long ago." The accidental mention of Woody Allen awakened Renly's memory.

Bradley nodded lightly, with a meaningful look in his eyes, "He's a smart guy. Next, he's going to study at Oxford University."

"It is foreseeable that there will be another important person in New York in the future." Renly said briefly.

Bradley couldn't help but smile, "Returning to the topic, you mean, you don't have any expectations for this year's awards season? I mean 'Drunk Country Ballad' just won the Best Actor trophy at Cannes, obviously , your performance has been affirmed again, and at the end of this year, you will definitely not be ignored."

"It's not up to me to decide, is it?" Renly retorted calmly, then slightly

Laughing, "To be honest, I didn't expect the development curve of awards season, let alone winning awards, for the work 'Crazy Love'. So far, all my works are not strictly awards season. The work, 'The Ballad of Drunken Town' is a young film that takes a huge risk, and neither Joel nor Ethan thinks this work can make a difference in awards season."

"And what about 'gravity'?" Bradley pressed.

"I was told that it was an 'Avatar,' and I don't agree with it, but I'm sure that the best and most important thing about this movie is Alfonso Cuaron, not me. Compared to the awards , I even more hope that this film can achieve excellent results at the box office, because this is a work that is very worth watching in theaters, and the visual effects are beyond the experience of video tapes." Renly made a sincere recommendation.

"Are you advertising now?"

"That's it. Wait, is Warner Bros. finalized?"

"not yet."

"That's not propaganda. We can wait."

The quick answers back and forth made the atmosphere of the conversation between Renly and Bradley more comfortable, and the New York Times reporter immediately asked, "You mean, when you were selecting works, Does not deliberately choose awards season-oriented works, is that the reason why you and the Weinstein brothers have never cooperated?"

I have to say that Bradley's questioning method is professional enough and cunning enough. He showed his edge in a calm manner, and instantly asked one of the most intriguing questions in the past two years——

In fact, people in the industry have more or less heard of the contradiction between Renly and Harvey Weinstein, not to mention that Harvey has blatantly released harsh words in private, which is not a secret at all for those well-informed reporters. However, they did not find a suitable opportunity to break the news, and now they are reporting without evidence and without incident, which inevitably seems dry and lacks explosive points.

So, Bradley just brought it up, tentatively watching Renly's reaction. Even if it is actually published, it is harmless, but it can arouse readers' discussion and inquiry.

"Ha, obviously we haven't cooperated so far, and it's not just because of this one reason." Bradley quietly threw a bait over, but Renly didn't mind, and gave a generous response, seemingly The vague words are actually meaningful, but there is no in-depth conversation. The understatement has a profound aftertaste. Readers who truly understand the internal situation of the industry are bound to smell the tricks.

Bradley is ingenious, while Renly is wise, and the interviews that come and go are exciting, which is why Renly is always popular when he appears on talk shows. He doesn't stop too much on the same topic, Renly went on to say, "But it's true, every time I choose a work, awards season is not the first consideration, I'm still trying to learn and grow. Of course, part of it is because my age is not suitable. in a biopic."

Biographical films are a big hit in awards season, typical Oscar-type works, but most of the protagonists who deserve a biography are over 30 years old, because such a legendary life is worth shooting. In comparison, Renly wasn't a good fit.

In the face of Renly's self-pitying, Bradley also raised the corners of his mouth, "So what about the 'Boom Drummer' this time? Many people think that this is also an attempt at an awards season work."

"It would be nice if we could go into awards season like 'Winter's Bone' or 'Little Miss Sunshine'. It would be a boost for the entire independent film industry," Renly said sincerely, "but in the conception and execution stages , awards season is not our goal, to present the story and ideas that Damien Chazelle has in mind, that is."

Originally, Bradley had several other questions on his mind, about awards season, about Weinstein, and about "The Bursting Drummer" or "The Drunken Ballad." Ridley changed his mind and came up with another idea.

This is always the case in every interview with Renly. Inadvertently, sparks can burst out, allowing the interview to break away from the framework of the manuscript and explore more chemistry. Bradley has long been accustomed to this interview mode, so he has no hesitation. , put forward the idea that just came up.

"When it comes to Damien Chazelle, obviously, he is a rookie director who doesn't have much experience. At present, he only has one unknown work. Even for most people, this is a rock that pops out of a crack. The newcomer, such cooperation means taking risks, even gambling, but you chose to believe him without hesitation, why is this?"
