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

In a sense, Jackman has a wider connection, a more outstanding reputation, and an excellent image. He has friends in the industry all over the world; while Lan Li's solitary, young, arrogant, and cold, has really offended many people. Now most of Lan Li's friends are young people, and the circle is not big.

When it comes to crowd-winning pursuits, Jackman will definitely have the upper hand. But the fact is that after the London premiere of the "Les Miserables" movie version, people almost gave Renli a higher praise.

Jackman properly completed his task and performed above the level; but Lan Li completed his task more than he could, made a breakthrough, amazed everyone, and even reinterpreted different Ran-Argent and different "Les Miserables".

This is the difference.

At the Oscars ceremony at the beginning of the year, Renli's unexpected appearance really caused storms, and industry insiders always complained. The reason is very simple, Renli's wife is young.

Just over 22 years old, even if it is arranged according to the nomination age of the Oscar winner, this is the third youngest number in film history. Lan Li went further and took the Little Golden Man into his pocket, strongly pulling down the youngest winning record that Adrian Brody kept, slashing down eight years old

Before this, Renli became the second youngest actor in the history of the Berlin Film Festival.

Such speed is really too fast, too fierce and too fierce. For the industry, especially for older people with respect, it is really unacceptable for major members whose career age is 35 to 40 years old. Whether it is jealous or resentful, they are just unhappy.

Just look at Adrian Brody. After winning the Oscar with the "pianist", he never won the Oscar nomination again. Not to mention the Oscar, he couldn't even enter the Golden Globe nomination stage and was completely ignored by the academy. This is the price.

Now, Renley is even more "out of the way" than Adrian, and the academy's anger and dislike are conceivable.

In this case, either you will start to challenge commercial movies, just like Halle Berry, gradually moving towards mainstream movies, and then gradually moving away from the competition for awards seasons; or you will be floating in the field of independent films, waiting for the next opportunity, in addition to Adrian, Nicole Kidman is the same.

The so-called "Little Golden Man Curse" is real, and even more so for Renli.

After the award ceremony, Lanley returned to the West End of London and boldly chose the six-hour version of "Les Miserables". The experimental nature is extremely strong, and it is a brand new challenge to acting. This is actually an unintentional way to make a shadow. This behavior has been widely recognized by industry insiders:

It is a wise decision for young people to be arrogant and impatient, to return to the stage with a down-to-earth foothold, and to slowly polish their acting skills.

But, this is still not enough.

If we develop step by step, Renli may have to wait at least until he is thirty before industry insiders will re-examine the actor's strength and talent and consider the possibility of commendation again; before this, don't talk about winning the award, even nomination may be extremely difficult.

At that time, Malone Brando was nominated for the first time at the age of 27, and was nominated for four consecutive years before he was 30. Finally, he successfully won the Oscar at the age of 30 with the "Water Storm". But now, the times have long been different. Ryan Gosling, Jack Gyllenhaal, Heath Ledger, Leonardo DiCaprio, etc. These actors are the best examples.

By the way, Jack Gyllenhaal's first Oscar nomination was at the age of 25, the best supporting actor in Brokeback Mountain, but that was the only time he was nominated for the Oscar, and he wasted twelve years.

If nothing unexpected happens, Renli will have to go through such a stage of hardship.

Now, the situation has changed quietly.

The movie version and the Almeida version of "Les Miserables" were put together. After horizontal comparison, they successfully gained praise for Lanli. In a silent manner, Lanli's professional strength was once again recognized.

Although it is lucky to be the Oscar with "Love Madness", Lan Li's strength is beyond doubt. The young actor showed his old and mature skills that are inconsistent with his age. This is admirable and even more amazing. People can be jealous, envious, or despised, but they cannot ignore it, and even more undeniable.

This is unexpected, but reasonable.

Standing at the node of "Les Miserables", looking back at Lan Li's past works, things gradually became clear. Slowly, slowly, people are eliminating age prejudice and starting to objectively give Lan Li's professional talent more worthy of recognition.

As people say, the West End and Broadway are gradually declining, which is a fact; but the professionalism and authority of professionals in the drama industry are unquestionable. Their affirmation is crucial to any actor, and it is even enough to influence many views and opinions in the film circle.

Of course, nominations and awards are still extremely difficult. After all, you have won the Oscar winner at the age of 22. Do you still want to reach the top in one step? Just look at Tom Hanks. You will know that at the age of 39, he completed the feat of winning the Oscar Little Golden Man again. The road to nomination after that will be extremely difficult. The law of conservation exists objectively.

But it is undeniable that the industry's views and opinions on Renli are gradually precipitating, which is an unexpected gain.

What's more, if they hesitate about their past works, they can go to the cinema now and appreciate the "descendant" work that won the Berlin Film Festival champion for Lan Li, and further observe and analyze Lan Li's strength. The hot discussion is only the opinions of others after all, and it is far less convincing than what they have seen with their own eyes, right?

After the premiere of the "Les Miserables" movie version in London, Renli, who had no direct relationship with the movie, became the focus of attention. Even when he was at the Surrey photography base, he still could not get rid of the focus, which made people laugh and cry. With these sensational words, the "transcendence" that is being previewed has received a lot of unexpected attention, which is natural.

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

Lanli did not return to North America for publicity, and the official announcement did not seem to cause any trouble. Even Lanli's social network account was quiet and low-key. Everything happened silently. If it weren't for the "Les Miserables", most people would probably continue to be kept in the dark.

Such a posture is really ridiculous.

However, for true veteran movie fans and Don Quixote, the "detached" preview has never been a secret.

In fact, as early as November 2, "Speed" had officially pre-screened. At first, there were only three theaters in New York and one theater in Los Angeles.

There was no publicity, no ceremony, or even no announcement, and it started to be previewed quietly. Tony Kaye did not put any expectations at all. As the film critics said, this is a work he shot and watched by himself. He did not look forward to the box office, did not look forward to the awards season, and even videotape rentals did not look forward to the

When he signed the contract with Lan Li, Tony gave up part of the dividends for the videotape rental. It can be seen that making money and promoting are not his purpose. He just wanted to complete this artistic creation and leave something in the long river of history. As for the others, it will be left to time.

Because truly excellent works of art will eventually shine after time polishing; and, works with themes like movies are strongly promoted and people will not buy them at all. It is better to let the reputation ferment slowly and pass on word of mouth, so that people can actively understand and think.

In this way, the effect will be better.

Of course, it can also save publicity costs.

So, "Shili" was screened in this way, and was screened in three art theaters completely according to the operating mode of independent art films. Their poster was really funny and laughable. Their poster didn't even mention that this work won the Best Actor Award at the Berlin Film Festival.

But to take a step back, the poster is Ren Li's face, which is the best publicity, so why bother to do this?

What's more, for real senior professional movie fans, they are always paying attention to the latest news from art theaters; for real Don Quixote, they are also eagerly looking forward to the release of "detachment". As long as they are willing, they have channels to learn about the relevant news, which is enough.

The facts have proved this.

After the preview began, "Speed" achieved a good box office without any publicity, with a single-stage box office of up to 33,000 US dollars. The first weekend of preview received more than 99,000 US dollars, which was really an unexpected surprise.

Objectively speaking, the data of 33,000 US dollars in a single library can only be said to be calm. Not to mention setting records, even compared with several other works of Lan Li, this data is not comparable. On the list of film history records, even the top 200 cannot squeeze in. It is completely unreasonable.

But it is a rare achievement for "transcendence". Not only because of the lack of publicity, but also because the work itself has a strong effect of excluding mainstream audiences. When you recall the feedback effect of the Berlin Film Festival, you can see that it is still a film festival. Now it is released in real life, so the situation is naturally even more difficult.

Therefore, the "detached" preview has made a good start.
