Renly Hall, the biggest dark horse in this year's Oscar nomination list, and Jennifer Lawrence and Hailee Steinfeld constitute a new generation of "Three Musketeers" - the oldest Renly is also ten years old in 1989. Born in January, so the media generally referred to as "three young actors who have not obtained legal drinking qualifications".

Of course, the fact that Renly can already drink legally.

Throughout the awards season this year, there have been endless discussions about "Generation Y" actors, from Toronto all the way to the Oscars, and until now, whether Natalie Portman can become the first generation Y actor to win a golden statuette is still the same. is a hot topic. Not only the major media, but even the academy officials joined it.

After the Oscar nomination list was released, in fact, all parties and all walks of life were greatly disappointed, because the number of nominees for Generation Y shrunk by almost two-thirds, which made people feel the academy's unfriendlyness to young actors again. They still seem to be holding gold The remnants of the times are unwilling to accept the fact that the 21st century has come. This has made the academy subject to controversy and criticism.

Under such circumstances, the academy had to respond. They pushed out the "three musketeers", intending to make these three people the representatives of this year's awards ceremony and give more encouragement to the younger generation.

Because these three people are really young, even among the actors of the Y generation, they are stepping on their tails. Strictly speaking, Hailey, born in 1996, is not Generation Y anymore, she belongs to the millennial generation - the generation born after 1991. These three absolutely young actors are enough to bring hope to the new blood in Hollywood, but also mean that the younger generation, but no doubt, shines.

Since the announcement of the nomination list, both the media and the academy have been working together to help fuel the flames. There is a lot of news focusing on the three Musketeers. Even this year's awards season has already had enough topics, but it still grabbed the spotlight. Less sight. It can be said that many people are looking forward to the attendance of the three musketeers.

But now, is Renly going to be absent? And at the last critical moment?

The lineup for the Oscars ceremony, just like the guest list for a wedding banquet, is not only difficult to give birth, but also complicated. Generally speaking, since mid-December, the academy has begun to arrange guests.

Although in December, there is still a long time before the nomination list is announced, and even the inside of the academy cannot predict the result, but after the awards season begins, the major awards of the wind vane have been awarded one after another, and the objects worthy of attention are also one after another. Surfaced, in addition, top big names like Tom Hanks, George Clooney, the academy welcomes them at all times.

Therefore, the academy will issue invitation letters in four to five batches. The first batch may be new topics worthy of attention, and a large number will be updated every year; the second batch may be the frontrunners of the awards season, regardless of whether they can win or not. Oscar nominations, their attendance is bound to get enough attention. And so on.

After the nomination list is out, the college will send another batch of invitation letters. On the one hand, it is to prevent dark horses from being included in the nomination list, such as this year's Haili. On the other hand, it is a heavyweight award guest. Considering the degree of attention, as well as the games of major brokerage companies, the invitation of these top guests will be the highlight of the night of the awards ceremony.

Willing to attend, refusing to attend. No matter what the answer is, the invitee is required to give an answer as soon as possible. If the schedule conflicts and cannot attend, then the college can also prepare a backup plan to avoid embarrassment and confusion, and each award must have a corresponding awarding guest , and rehearsing the string of words, this is not to be sloppy.

All in all, this is a meticulous and thorough process, with the Academy doing its best to keep surprises to a minimum.

Of course, are there any special cases? Have.

Take Woody Allen, for example, after the academy sends an invitation, he can consider it slowly and decide whether to attend, or he may choose the option of "rejection" at the last moment. But even Woody, he would not procrastinate for too long, and told the academy the decision early so that they could make arrangements for the ceremony.

At this moment, with only a week left until the Oscars, Renly is at the last critical moment, is he sure he will be absent?

This... definitely killed everyone by surprise, and it was still under the circumstances that he had already nodded his agreement before. If it is handled inappropriately, then it will offend the judges of the academy. Once the case is left, it will take double effort to make a comeback in the future. To make matters worse, after hard work, it is very likely that the result cannot be changed-Pride and Prejudice, which can be said to be the motto of the Academy.

This is the most deadly!

The most famous case in Hollywood is Viggo Mortensen.

Back then, he played the role of Aragorn, the king of mankind in "The Lord of the Rings". Especially in the third part, there was a lot of nominations in the awards season, but Viggo was completely uninterested in the Oscars and was almost absent from the entire show. The Academy's public relations during the awards season naturally did not receive nominations in the end.

Later, Viggo worked with David Cronenberg twice in 2005 and 2007, and won an Oscar nomination for Best Actor for "The Promise of the East". In that year's selection, Daniel Day-Lewis of "Blood Is Coming" stood out, and others could hardly pose a threat, but the industry recognized that Vigo was the biggest challenger. The fruit has been well received

.

However, Vigo not only refused to promote, but also thought that Oscar was just a "game", which he disdain.

This gesture, which fell into the ears of industry professionals, went viral, and in 2003 he was blacklisted by the academy, coupled with apathy and alienation in 2003.

Since then, Vigo has given countless wonderful performances, such as "Doomsday" in 2009, "Dangerous Methods" in 2011, and "Away from People" in 2014. These works have received countless affirmations in Europe, large and small. The Little Film Critics Association and the Film Festival have won a lot of awards, but they have always been indifferent in North America.

It was not until 2016 that Vigo dropped his stance, told the small-budget independent film "Captain Fantastic", and even took the initiative to attend numerous public relations events, truly integrating into Hollywood, and only then won the Oscar nomination for best actor in one fell swoop.

In other words, not just anyone can be Woody Allen.

Now, just thinking about it in his head gave Andy a splitting headache.

However, Andy is not the type of indecision. After making a choice, no matter how difficult it is, he must persevere to the end, "Yes, I will not attend."

Renly looked at Andy in front of him, but he shrugged nonchalantly, and agreed neatly, "Okay."

The promise was so refreshing, and there was no nostalgia at all. Andy felt a little congested in his chest, but he was not surprised. He could only shake his head helplessly, "Then you have a good rest. Will you continue to work tomorrow?"

Although it was a question, Andy already knew Renly's answer.

Sure enough, Renly nodded in affirmation, "The next part is the hard part." Renly looked at Andy quietly, he knew how important it was to be absent from Oscar.

In fact, Hollywood Vanity Fair and British aristocratic Vanity Fair are in the same strain.

Oscar is like the Queen's private banquet. Everyone knows that it is extremely difficult to attend such a banquet and talk to the Queen. After most people attend, they are reduced to background boards. However, no one will be absent. Anyone who is absent will inevitably become the focus of onlookers, and even become a chatter in social occasions.

To put it simply, when the nobles hold banquets in the future, this person will be blacklisted, and it is not necessarily that they will not be invited. After all, the social network of nobles is intricate. Enthusiasm and frequency will plummet, and then unknowingly become an outcast in the social field.

Now, so does Oscar. Unless Renly can be like Woody Allen, the detached status, but uniquely become the art representative of New York's east coast. Then, the academy can only swallow its anger. Otherwise, things will be extremely tricky.

As Renly said, he could be present if necessary.

For London's aristocrats, it's one of the things they do best: disguising their true emotions and true state in public, and doing all social activities with ease and poise, even in exceptional circumstances.

To give a simple example, nobles can control their hiccups - not the action itself, because the action itself is uncontrollable; but when they realize that they are about to hiccups, they will adjust their breathing or cover up their speech. , quietly cover up the past, and then turned to leave.

Because hiccupping is a very rude behavior, and it is detrimental to the nobleman's manners, even if it is a natural reaction of the body. It sounds incredible, but it's true in real life.

Of course, such a move is not without traces. For the old fritters, it is obvious at a glance, and then it will become the talk behind their backs; but for the novice or layman, they are not aware of it at all.

As for the small etiquettes such as controlling airing/farting, it can only be said to be sprinkled with water.

In other words, Oscar, he can attend, but he doesn't want to.

Compared with Oscar, he now has more important things to accomplish - the exploration of method acting skills.

Originally, Renly thought that Andy would ask a few words, or nag a few words, but he didn't expect that Andy turned around and was about to leave, it seemed that he planned to give him a good rest.

To be honest, there was a hint of warmth in Renly's heart. Because he knew better than anyone what a tough decision this was for Andy.

"What about the academy? What are your plans?" Renly asked.
